CNN’s president, a media titan at the helm of a global news organization intensely covering the 2020 presidential election, has a longstanding personal rule against supporting politicians.
He’s broken it once — for Kamala Harris when she ran to become the first woman of color to hold the office of California attorney general a decade ago.
“Kamala is not just important for the city of San Francisco, the state of California, but for the entire country,” Jeff Zucker, then president of NBC Universal, told guests at a breakfast at NBC’s Rockefeller Plaza office in August 2009, according to reporting by India Abroad, a publication that has closely chronicled Harris’ political rise because of her Indian heritage.
Zucker is a powerful friend to have — a man worth $40 million who holds countless connections to America’s most elite quarters in media, finance and politics.
“If you’re plotting a long-term game, you need to plant the seeds early because everyone comes here,” said Hank Sheinkopf, a New York-based Democratic consultant. “In order to run a network, you need to know money people and media people. If you have someone taking you through those doors of power, it makes life a lot easier.”
This week, Zucker’s network hosts the second Democratic presidential primary debate, where Harris will stand on stage as one of the most prominent White House contenders in a 2020 pack that is likely to get significantly smaller, perhaps rapidly, as donors begin to choose favorites.
Zucker’s friendship with Harris, however, could open her up to early attacks not from her Democratic rivals but from Donald Trump, given the CNN chief’s tortured relationship with the president.
“I could just see the tweets tumbling out now, I have no doubt about that,” said Jeffrey Lord, a former CNN commentator and Trump supporter.

He was hoping he would get lucky like willy, plain and simple
Yes, I think “fete” is liberal-speak for “boink.”
“feted” lol, well she obviously appreciates a good time, nothing wrong with that and I can’t stand puritans that think feting is a moral failure.
Aren't there only something like 500k people watching CNN at any given point in time?
Incest is a moral failure.
Agreed, molesting children is a moral failure.
Yes. Incest is a moral failure and I can’t believe how often it occurs.
Zucker heard that Kamala could suck-start a leaf blower.
Ewwwww weeeee girl gimme dat ass like dem old dayz
#5 That depends on the number of people at the airports that cnn is at.... really it does.
She “feted” a lot of people at Hollywood orgies with Willie Brown.
I expect that if she secures the nomination videos of her being “feted” silly will find their way onto the interwebz.
