Think Dana Perino and George Stephanopoulos, both former press secretaries.<\/p>\n<p>For others, not so much.<\/p>\n<p>Symone Sanders recently tried to make the move. Sanders, who served as national press secretary for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders during his 2016 presidential campaign, then worked as a senior adviser for Joe Biden in his 2020 presidential campaign before becoming the top spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris, didn\u2019t exactly knock \u2019em out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSanders drew just 361,000 total viewers for her 4 p.m. show, titled \u2018Symone,\u2019 on Saturday,\u201d the New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/10\/ex-biden-aide-symone-sanders-msnbc-debut-is-a-ratings-flop\/\">reported<\/a>, citing newly released Nielsen ratings. \u201cShe also managed to attract just 29,000 viewers in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 demographic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For comparison, Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cFox News Live,\u201d which ran at the same time, drew 842,000 total viewers, including 163,000 in the 25-54 demographic, the Post said.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t even help that Sanders\u2019 first guest was first lady Jill Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Before her new show debuted, Sanders, 32, said\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m not here to be a spokesperson for the Biden administration. I had that job already,\u201d according to The Hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to be honest, and sometimes the honesty means that what I have to say is not what the administration would have to say. And that\u2019s fine, because it\u2019s my show,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders\u2019 program airs Saturday and Sunday at 4 p.m ET. \u201cWe\u2019re going to do today\u2019s headlines, but we\u2019re going to go deeper. We\u2019re going to get to the weeds,\u201d said Sanders, who also has served as a CNN commentator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a millennial, and the only reason, frankly, I was turning on the TV was because of the job that I worked,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/04\/symone-sanders-insists-she-wont-be-biden-mouthpiece-on-msnbc\/\">said<\/a>. \u201cWhen I wake up in the morning, I\u2019m checking Twitter, I\u2019m checking Instagram, I check my email, I check my text messages, and I would not turn on the TV \u2026 and then the first time I see a television that\u2019s on is when I walk into my office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo my show is going to reach people like me: young people who are engaged, who are paying attention, who care, but who may not be watching TV as regularly,\u201d Sanders said.<\/p>\n<p>More than a dozen staffers in Harris\u2019 office have bolted, including Sanders. Their exits followed a devastating USA Today\/Suffolk University poll that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2021\/11\/07\/biden-approval-falls-38-midterms-loom-usa-today-suffolk-poll\/6320098001\/\">showed<\/a> Harris earning a dismal 28% approval rating \u2014 10 points behind President Joe Biden, who sat at a not-so-pretty 38% approval.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
