Late-night TV shows are not the forte for Congressman John K. Delaney of Maryland, who joined the 2020 Democratic list of presidential candidates as far back as July 2017. So early was his entry that you would think he would at least have shown up in the TV shows of Stephen Colbert or Trevor Noah, who both accept guest appearances by politicians.

In some ways, Delaney’s reluctance to be a TV guest runs counter to logic. Late-night television shows, to a good extent, influence how the audience views political candidates. Turning to a late-night comedy show rather than counting on cable news to successfully campaign for the U.S. Presidency makes sense, especially for a Democratic candidate seeking a large, young and mostly sympathetic audience.

The stakes are high, comedian Trevor Noah said. “With the election a mere 496 days away,” the “Daily Show” host pointed out, candidates “could go from, ‘Who is that?’ to, ‘Oh, yeah, that guy.’”

Nevertheless, there is one show that Delaney has definitely target. It’s daytime show. It’s called “The View” on ABC. In it, the presidential candidate weighed in on President Donald Trump’s remarks on notifying FBI of information. Delaney called foreign intel on 2020 opponents “un-American.”
