Amy Klobuchar's Dad Would Have Loved This
Kara Swisher holds up her phone, displaying a black-and-white photograph of Amy Klobuchar and her father on bicycles. Backstage in Minneapolis, the picture gives Pivot's post-election conversation somewhere more personal to go than the electoral map.
Scott Galloway addresses his guest as "Senator, Governor-elect" and asks what her journalist father would make of the historic day. Klobuchar supplies a precise correction: "Vikings reporter." Then she traces his beginnings in a northern Minnesota mining town, where his own father never finished high school.
The bicycle photograph captures a trip from Minneapolis to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, covering more than a thousand miles in ten days. For Klobuchar, the memory explains something about her father's outlook: "He just believed anything was possible." She connects that belief to the barriers she encountered growing up and to becoming the first woman elected governor of Minnesota.
The Short, titled "Amy Klobuchar's Dad Would Have Loved This," drew about 53,000 views in its first day, more than five times Pivot's usual Shorts audience. Its comment section was also more than four times as busy as a typical first day.
Pivot's Minneapolis visit has another fast-starting clip, Galloway's dance entrance, but this exchange stays with the family photograph. Asked directly what her father would say about her election, Klobuchar answers: "He'd be pretty proud."
An American politician and lawyer who is Minnesota’s governor-elect and has served as a U.S. senator since 2007. She belongs to Minnesota’s Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, the state affiliate of the Democratic Party.
