VP Harris to Sit Down Hours from Now with Bret Baier for First Fox News Interview
Vice President Kamala Harris will sit down with Bret Baier on “Special Report” for her first formal interview on Fox News, with less than three weeks to go in her presidential campaign. The interview is scheduled to run on “Special Report” at 6 p.m. ET on October 16, 2024, following an afternoon campaign event in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Harris is expected to sit for approximately 25-30 minutes at around 5 p.m. ET, about an hour before “Special Report” airs live.
This interview marks a significant step in Harris’s media appearances, as she has largely avoided interviews after replacing President Biden atop the Democrats’ 2024 ticket in mid-July. However, she has ramped up her media appearances in recent weeks, including interviews with CNN, CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” ABC’s “The View,” late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert, radio personality Howard Stern, and numerous podcasts.
The interview with Baier on Fox News may feed the perception that the vice president in the closing stretch of the campaign is open to facing tough questions. Harris becomes the first Democratic presidential nominee in eight years to sit for an interview on Fox News, following Hillary Clinton’s 2016 interview with Chris Wallace.
