Vice President Harris is due to make her Fox News debut in an interview on “Special Report” with Bret Baier tonight.
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to make her debut on Fox News, in an apparent attempt to appeal to conservative voters in the final weeks of the campaign. The interview is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Bret Baier’s Special Report.
Harris’ decision to engage with Fox News—her first-ever interview with the outlet—comes as her campaign has faced criticism from conservatives for not doing enough unscripted interviews earlier in the election cycle. Newsweek has contacted Harris’s campaign via email for comment.
However, this month, Harris’s campaign changed strategy, and the vice president has done several media appearances including The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and The Howard Stern Show, as well as the traditional candidate interview on 60 Minutes, which Donald Trump refused to do.
The vice president will also participate in a CNN town hall on October 23 that will be moderated by anchor Anderson Cooper. The discussion will be broadcast live from Delaware County, Pennsylvania.A Calculated Risk
Harris’ appearance on Fox News will be her first time doing an interview with an established conservative media network.
Baier is known as a fair journalist. After the presidential debate in September, Fox floated the idea of another debate, moderated by Baier and fellow host Martha MacCallum. Trump said he would not agree to a Fox Debate unless Jesse Watters, one of Fox’s more partisan prime-time hosts, moderated it.
