- Harris’ interview will air Wednesday on Special Report with Bret Baier
Vice President Kamala Harris accepted her first interview with Fox News Channel after dodging hostile media since the start of the campaign.
The vice president will be interviewed by Bret Baier on Wednesday in Philadelphia after weekend polls showed former President Donald Trump narrowing his lead.
He is expected to participate between 25 and 30 minutes in the segment that will air 20 days before Election Day.
After largely avoiding interviews after becoming the Democratic nominee in late July, Harris has been on a media blitz lately.
Last week he appeared on a special Monday night episode of 60 Minutes.
Kamala Harris accepted her first interview with Fox News after dodging hostile media since the start of the campaign.
On Tuesday, he traveled to New York to appear on The View, Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show, and the Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
He also recorded an episode of the popular, albeit controversial, Call Her Daddy podcast.
This week he will speak with Charlamagne Tha God in Detroit on Tuesday before meeting with Baier on Wednesday.
Conservative critics have lampooned Harris for playing it safe with friendly interviewers like Stern, Colbert and the women of The View.
He also called CNN and The Weather Channel before Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida last week.
But she has still avoided some mainstream media outlets like Time magazine, and its editor Marc Benioff complained Sunday that Harris has avoided a meeting.
“Despite multiple requests, TIME has not been granted an interview with Kamala Harris, unlike any other presidential candidate,” Benioff posted on X.
Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier will host Vice President Kamala Harris’ first interview with the conservative-leaning network, which has lampooned the Democrat for her failures on immigration.
“We believe in transparency and publish each interview in its entirety,” he added in the post. ‘Why doesn’t the vice president interact with the public at the same level?’
Fox has long been a thorn in the vice president’s side on issues such as immigration, falsely calling her a “border czar.”
President Joe Biden tasked Harris with addressing the root causes of immigration.
That has exposed it to all kinds of immigration-related attacks as border crossings skyrocketed until recently.
Baier has been at Fox News since the late ’90s and has earned a reputation for being impartial despite the network’s right-wing tilt.
