‘Answer The G**d*** Question!’: Katie Couric Takes Kamala Apart In 2024 Post-Mortem With Jen Psaki

Longtime news anchor Katie Couric admitted to former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki that while she had liked Vice President Kamala Harris, she had been frustrated by her apparent inability to answer questions on the campaign trail.

Couric and Psaki delivered a post-mortem of the 2024 presidential election — which saw Harris trounced by now President-elect Donald Trump in both the Electoral College and the popular vote — for Couric’s “Next Question” podcast. During their conversation, both women voiced frustration that Harris had failed to meet the voters where they were and answer the questions they wanted to have answered.

Psaki pointed out the fact that Harris simply hadn’t done what was necessary to reach voters — particularly those inclined to disagree with her — when she had limited herself to only a few interviews, all with relatively friendly outlets or media personalities.

“And that means doing all of the things, including with people you disagree with, who are gonna be tough,” Psaki explained, saying that candidates had to be “fearless” and giving Harris credit for doing the interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier.

Couric couched her criticism by first saying that she felt Harris had handled some things very well, but then she pointed out Harris’ tendency to evade questions even when she did sit for interviews. She noted that people weren’t likely to be convinced when Harris didn’t give satisfactory answers.

“Like, if she was asked about changing the Supreme Court at that CNN town hall – she had an opportunity to talk about ethics and what, you know, Alito and Clarence Thomas were doing. And, she answered like in one sentence and like went on to something that had nothing to do with the question,” Couric noted, adding, “It’s like, answer the G**d*** question please!”

“I mean … yeah,” Psaki agreed, laughing.
