Katie Couric BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
The past several days have been a whirlwind on both the political and media front for me, Katie Couric. As the 2025 election aftermath rolls out, my own news platform, Katie Couric Media, has been front and center unpacking the results. Our latest coverage dives into Democrats’ surprising wins across New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, a notable rebuke of former President Trump’s second-term agenda and a powerful sign of voter fatigue with his leadership. My team and I have emphasized how the economy—specifically affordability and cost-of-living—was the defining issue in these contests, with analysts pointing to a resurgence of Democratic coalitions among voters of color and a diversity of strategies across blue states. According to a political takeaway feature on my site, these results may hint at a recalibrated Democratic identity just in time for the 2026 cycle.
On air, my “Next Question with Katie Couric” podcast is keeping things robust, releasing headline-grabbing new episodes and live appearances. I sat down live at City Winery in New York, chatting with Dr. Krys Araujo-Torres on the science of extending healthspan and the realities of women’s health. The episode garnered positive buzz and plenty of social engagement, as did my interviews with Jonathan Karl about his stinging Trump exposé “Retribution,” and with Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg on the fragility of American democracy. That Jonathan Karl conversation drew substantial traction for its candid look at Trump’s “obsession with retribution” and how that’s impacting governance—clips are making the rounds on YouTube, while curiosity is driving plenty of traffic back to my own site and podcast feeds.
With government drama swirling, I hosted Senator Angus King, who discussed the blowback from progressives over his vote to end the government shutdown, which led to ripple effects across Capitol Hill. Watching the legislative wrangling firsthand—as I shared with viewers and listeners—provides a reality check on the ongoing dysfunction in Washington, a topic that continues to dominate my reporting and audience questions.
On social media, engagement surged following the election with posts celebrating strong female candidates in New Jersey and reflecting on the moment's significance for women in politics. I’ve also been amplifying new features and my daily “Wake-Up Call” newsletter, offering followers succinct analysis and personal takes on the most urgent stories. Headlines around the elections, shutdown, and Trump’s controversial policies like the proposed two thousand dollar tariff checks—which my site dissected and questioned—have all kept me part of the trending national conversation, with followers eager for actionable insights and truth-telling.
There are no headline-grabbing scandals or unsubstantiated rumors currently attached to my name or brand activities—everything on record. The through line in my public appearances, newsroom content, and podcast episodes remains clarity in chaos, humor amidst the hype, and the goal of making sense of the relentless crush of news for my audience, no matter how dizzying the cycle gets.
