Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate in the 2024 presidential election, will sit down for her first formal interview on Fox News with the network’s chief political anchor, Bret Baier.
The interview will take place on Wednesday, October 16, in Pennsylvania, airing on Baier’s “Special Report” at 6 p.m. ET.
The interview marks a significant moment in Harris’ media outreach as she has primarily appeared on more favorable platforms.

Baier, who is anchoring his program from Pennsylvania that evening, will conduct the one-on-one conversation with Harris.
The battleground state is crucial in the upcoming election, making it an ideal location for the high-profile interview.
This appearance on Fox News is part of a broader media strategy for Harris, who has been increasing her visibility as the 2024 election approaches.

It will run as-Live – in its entirety. It is taped because they gave us a time just before my show. We plan to run it uninterrupted — and not edited. https://t.co/bQJM0P2ibR

Her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, has already made multiple appearances on the network.

Just last Sunday, Walz appeared for the second consecutive week on “Fox News Sunday.”
These interviews signal a concerted effort by the Democratic ticket to engage with a broader audience in the final stretch of the campaign.
Harris’ upcoming interview with Fox News follows a string of media appearances with other outlets.
However, the vice president has faced criticism over her recent interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes.”
In that interview, Harris appeared to give two different answers to the same question about U.S. policy towards Israel. CBS aired both responses, which led to further scrutiny.
Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.

Since then, Harris has participated in a series of more comfortable interviews, including appearances on ABC’s “The View,” as well as shows hosted by Stephen Colbert and Howard Stern.
Bret Baier co-led Fox News Channel’s “Democracy 2024” coverage of both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions and has moderated multiple high-stakes political events.
In addition to his role at Fox News, Baier has previously moderated town halls and debates with various political figures, including former President Donald Trump, who is Kamala Harris’ main opponent in the 2024 election.
The October 16 interview is expected to attract significant attention as Harris steps into a less familiar media landscape, offering the Democratic candidate an opportunity to reach voters who may not typically tune into her appearances on other networks.
The interview comes at a critical time as Pennsylvania remains a pivotal battleground state.
With both presidential campaigns focusing on key swing states, Harris’ appearance on Fox News is part of a broader strategy to reach undecided voters and reinforce the importance of the state in the upcoming election.

Everything Baier (Jethro) does is a setup. He is an awful reporter, boring, has no creativity, is on the left. Harris will have the questions in advance.
