“The View” cohost Sunny Hostin admitted that in her attempt to give Vice President Kamala Harris a softball, it actually backfired and might have been one of the things that resulted in the VP’s loss in the election to President-elect Donald Trump.
During the show’s “Behind the Table” podcast, Hostin said even she was surprised with the answer after she asked Harris if there was anything “she would have done differently” from President Joe Biden in the last four years.
Harris’ response — “there is not a thing that comes to mind” — was immediately used in Trump campaign ads across the country.
“I followed up because I was surprised at the answer,” Hostin admitted. “Look, I think it wasn’t so much about the question, but it was really more about the answer. The reason I followed up was because that wasn’t a gotcha question. That was a layup, really.”
