Longtime news broadcaster Katie Couric is among the many media figures who have been spending the past couple of weeks analyzing the 2024 presidential campaign and President Donald Trump’s decisive victory.

During a recent segment of her “Next Question” podcast, Couric took aim at Kamala Harris’ abysmal attempts to answer media questions. She said the softball questions from interviewers and the irrelevant answers Harris provided combined to help secure Trump’s win.

As Fox News reported:

“I always find that people do better when they’re asked really challenging, pointed questions. I always felt that way about Hillary Clinton,” Couric said. “If you are giving them these almost weird, like, amorphous softballs, it’s really hard to kind of hone your message and be succinct and say what you really need to say.”

“I also felt that, and again, I think [Harris] really did well in so many areas, but I was frustrated by her inability to really succinctly answer questions at times, Jen,” Couric continued.

“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, [Supreme Court Justices Samuel] Alito and Clarence Thomas were doing, and she answered, like, in one sentence, and then went on to something that had nothing to do with the question,” Couric said. “You know, people notice that, and it’s like, ‘Answer the g-dd–n question, please!’”

Harris’ tendency to respond to questions with a serving of “word salad” became a prominent meme during the most recent election cycle:

While others in the media and/or Democratic Party have also placed much of the blame for Harris’ loss on the campaign itself, there have been plenty of other scapegoats named in recent days.

According to The Independent:

Some Democrats think swapping Joe Biden for Harris was their deadly mistake. Others have blamed Biden himself, saying he took far too long to drop out. Progressives point to the Biden administration’s stance on Israel and the Harris campaign’s attempts to appeal to moderates and anti-Trump Republicans.

Maybe it’s not a single person, but the issues themselves; some analysts have argued that Americans resonated with Trump’s stances — however sometimes disturbing — on immigration, on the economy, on foreign wars.

Here’s some additional coverage of the left’s ongoing blame game:
