Kamala Harris will sit for first ever Fox News interview with Bret Baier after dodging unfriendly media

Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to her first-ever sit-down interview with Fox News Channel after dodging unfriendly media since the start of the campaign.

The vice president will be interviewed by Bret Baier on Wednesday in Philadelphia after polls over the weekend showed former President Donald Trump chipping away at her lead.

She is expected to sit for 25 to 30 minutes for the segment that will air 20 days before election day. 

After largely eschewing interviews after becoming the Democratic nominee in late July, Harris has been on a media blitz of late. 

Last week she appeared on a special Monday night episode of 60 Minutes. 

On Tuesday she traveled to New York for appearances on The View, Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show and the Late Show With Stephen Colbert. 

She also taped an episode of the popular, yet controversial, podcast Call Her Daddy. 

This week she’ll speak to Charlamagne Tha God in Detroit Tuesday before her sit-down with Baier on Wednesday. 

Conservative critics have lampooned Harris for playing it safe with friendly interiewers like Stern, Colbert and the women on The View. 

She also phoned into CNN and The Weather Channel ahead of Hurricane Milton making landfall in Florida last week. 

But she’s still avoided some traditional, mainstream outlets like Time magazine, with its editor Marc Benioff complaining Sunday that Harris has avoided a sit-down.

‘Despite multiple requests, TIME has not been granted an interview with Kamala Harris—unlike every other Presidential candidate,’ Benioff posted on X. 

Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier will conduct Vice President Kamala Harris’ first-ever interview with the conservative-leaning network, which has lampooned the Democrat over her immigration failures 

‘We believe in transparency and publish each interview in full,’ he added in the post. ‘Why isn’t the Vice President engaging with the public on the same level?’ 

Fox has long been a thorn in the vice president’s side over issues like immigration, falsely calling her the ‘border czar.’ 

Harris was given the role of dealing with the root causes of immigration by President Joe Biden. 

That has opened her up to all sorts of immigration-themed attacks as border crossings soared until recently. 

Baier has been at Fox News since the late 90s and has developed the reputation as fair-minded despite the network’s rightward leaning.
