Sunny Hostin re-visits 'problematic' Kamala Harris answer on 'The View' as hosts question her 2028 potential

"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin revisited her widely-discussed 2024 question to former Vice President Kamala Harris during an event on Monday, calling the former Democratic presidential nominee's answer and refusal to distance herself from former President Joe Biden at the time "problematic." Brian Teta, the talk show's executive producer and host of its " Behind the Table " podcast, selected the moment as Hostin's most memorable on the show.

He said it was a "seminal moment" in the 2024 election cycle.

Hostin described the question as a "gift" and said she thought Harris would have to distance herself from Biden because of his approval ratings at the time.

She also said "The View" was the perfect venue to ask the question, calling the liberal show's audience "her people." "I actually thought the answer was going to be, you know, ‘We had a lot of wins in this administration.

I was there for those wins, but I, as a woman of color, as a child of immigrants, as I have a different lived experience, and I intend to bring that lived experience with me into the White House.

I will do this.

I will do that.

I will do this.

I will do that.

I will do that.’ That was what I was expecting.

I was not expecting, 'Not a single thing comes to mind.' And I knew honestly when she said it that it was really problematic," Hostin said.

In "107 Days," Harris wrote that she had no idea she had just "pulled the pin on a hand grenade," with her answer to Hostin's question .

She wrote that her staff was beside themselves.
