“The View” cohost <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sunny-hostin">Sunny Hostin</a> 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” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZmvkJVdyuM">podcast</a>, 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&#8217; response &#8212; “there is not a thing that comes to mind&#8221; &#8212; was immediately used in Trump campaign ads across the country.
&#8220;I followed up because I was surprised at the answer,” Hostin admitted. “Look, I think it wasn&#8217;t so much about the question, but it was really more about the answer. The reason I followed up was because that wasn&#8217;t a gotcha question. That was a layup, really.&#8221;
Hostin said she thought the question was a chance for Harris “to explain to all the people who are saying ‘I want a change agent’” that she was that person based on things like having a different “lived experience” from Biden.

&#8220;And I thought she would then say, ‘I would build on the wins we&#8217;ve had,’ and I had a laundry list of wins in my head, and she didn&#8217;t answer it that way, she said not a thing comes to mind,&#8221; Hostin <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/sunny-hostin-surprised-kamala-harris-flubbing-her-layup-question-about-differing-from-biden">explained</a>, adding that it showed Harris’ loyalty to Biden.

Hostin said she wasn’t going to “opine” now whether the VP’s answer was right or wrong, but she does admit it surprised her.
&#8220;I will just say I was surprised at the answer because it was a question that really could have inured to her benefit, it was a question that could have been a change maker,&#8221; the ABC host said.
“But again, it was not planned to tank her run,” she added, shutting down claims from people on the Left, like James Carville, that she had some kind of power to influence the election.
Hostin was a staunch Harris supporter during the election, even downplaying evidence in polls that the VP was losing ground with certain parts of the electorate, as well as an NBC poll that showed that any lead the vice president had garnered from the September 10 debate has since evaporated, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamalas-campaign-is-flawless-media-to-blame-for-not-fawning-enough-sunny-hostin">reported</a>.
“Look, I think that Kamala Harris has been running a flawless campaign,” the host said, arguing that she would not have been able to raise $1 billion if there was no real momentum behind her. “I think it’s because people believe in her, and I think people are showing that by the amount of money that they are willing to give to the campaign.”
“I think we have the press to blame for a lot of this,” she added. “Whoopi, you always say that you don’t believe in polls. I’m with you now, because I’m reading the press. First it was, ‘Kamala’s not doing enough press.’ Then she goes on this huge press tour, she was here, with us, I thought she was fantastic.”
