Couric Critiques Harris' Interview Approach and Strategy

Katie Couric has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her lack of directness in answering questions during campaign interviews, expressing frustration on her podcast 'Next Question with Katie Couric'. Couric, speaking with former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki, highlighted Harris's vague responses, particularly during a CNN town hall on Supreme Court reforms, as examples where she failed to address questions directly. This tendency, Couric remarked, leaves voters frustrated, with many wanting Harris to 'answer the goddamn question'. Couric also noted Harris's failure to differentiate herself from President Biden, calling it damaging to her campaign. Psaki added that candidates need to be fearless and engage with challenging questions, suggesting Harris's preparation could have been more thorough. Both agreed that Harris had moments of brilliance but were puzzled by her three-week media absence after being nominated as the Democratic candidate.
