Fox News announced on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to be interviewed by the network’s chief political anchor, Bret Baier.
The interview will air Wednesday evening in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. The announcement comes as Harris visits Erie on Monday, a hotly contested county that could decide the all-important battleground state’s fate come November.
The event marks the first time the current Democratic frontrunner has ever participated in a sit-down interview with the network.

Why not? As it certainly appears that Baier by his past words is an anti-Trump Democrat!

Good grief - not Baier! Watters or Ingraham or Hannity would be much much better.

I'd love to see what Baier and Fox had to "agree" to.

#4, I’ll be watching. I don’t tend to hide my head in the sand. Brett Baier will challenge her far more than she has been.

Let's not forget who Brett Baier is. Mr. Baier gleefully at 10pm NY time or there about, on election night 2020 said Trump LOST Arizona. He and that blonde, whose name I can't remember, were downright happy that Trump was now losing. And it was FOX that said it. So, there was added gravitas to that report. And that's exactly what's going to happen with the Kamala interview.
I believe, Baier and his producers have let Kamala know, yeah we are gonna have to make it look like we are tough on you, but here are the questions and/or the policy issues we will be asking you. Wink, wink. Now of course, no one would ever believe that FOX would set it up for Kamala. No one, that is, but we former FOX viewers who understand exactly what is going on. It will be reported that Kamala has entered the belly of the beast, FOX news, is being challenged like never before and SHAZAAM comes out looking brilliant and presidential. Right people? She's smart. She's capable. She is definitely a Commander-in-Chief. The October surprise!
Baier and FOX, we got your number. I will never, EVER, forget watching him on election night 2020. Never.

If Baier has any credibility and integrity as a journalist, he'll grill her about the plagiarism accusations that were just leveled against her. I'd love to watch her try to kackle her way out of that one.

Oh, she's real desperate now. She'll still get deserved criticism from the right for picking pathetic Bret. Maybe she'll help bring Fox down like she's done ABC or CBS, whichever one it was she was on recently.

The Harris campaign is imploding. This is a last ditch effort to show the voters that she is not a babbling idiot.
I suspect that Baier will ask her some tough questions and actually do some follow ups after her word salad, as he doesn't want to be seen as a political activist.

OK, I'll be the contrarian here.
Until I stopped watching TV news altogether years ago, Baier's hour was a nightly ritual. I thought he did a good job covering the stories the other anchors buried. Since then, from what I've read and clips I've seen, he still goes where his competitors don't--though maybe not as much as our side would like.
Arizona? Bad move. Rush to be first or something more nefarious? I find it hard to attribute it to the latter. I think Baier values his reputation as balanced and was stung by the criticism.
I never had the impression he was taking sides, that he hated Trump and was shaping the news to diminish DJT. Did he report on stuff detrimental to the man? Of course. Does that make him a RINO or worse? I don't think so. Some of the comments here about Baier seem over the top to me.
I have a relative who teaches political science at a university. At the end of every semester, students seek him out to ask whether he's left or right. They ask because during the semester he'll take the other side of any opinion the students offer. He doesn't believe it's his job to steer them one way or the other; he wants them to come to their own conclusions. He is not an advocate. I see Baier in the same light.

I appreciate your comments #16 but I don't think Bret Baier has been as neutral as described. I am also very concerned that Kamala Harris is going to receive softball treatment. The vitriol that has been aimed at Donald Trump is much worse than what I remember of any candidate and that includes Sarah Palin. That alone was despicable. The mainstream media has double standards and I don't see Bret Baier being any different. After all, how is it that Jill Stein can question the election in 2016 where three states had to do recounts and J6 is considered an insurrection? I question Bret Baier's actions in the 2020 election. So now I am to trust this interview with Kamala Harris will be fair and balanced? I am not where you are #16.

By the way, I am where #9 is. Just look at the title of this article listed below this one: "Biden-Harris Admin Paves Way For Bureaucrats To Take Gender-Confused Kids From ‘Non-Affirming’ Parents."
Not only do I want Bret Baier to talk about the plagiarism but how about the story coming to light, if true, about Tim Walz grooming a couple of students. I have to tell you everything Donald Trump did or does is put through a microscope. Russian collusion, impeachments, trials, etc. One of the civil trials is about a woman who claims Donald Trump raped her in 1996 or whenever. He was never afforded a criminal trial and wa-la, the statute of limitations in New York doesn't apply any more.
I just purchased a book by Lyza Terkeurst titled "I Want To Trust You But I Don't" and that is where I am at with Bret Baier and Fox News. Basically speaking that is where I am with most of mainstream media.

Let’s see what he does. If he softballs her like the other networks have he will go down in flames. He knows that. Which instinct will dominate? His Trump hatred or his ego? It will be interesting to see.

Baier is right up there with Cavuto and that flamer who used to read on Fox. They ALL hate Trump (and by that, they're anti-American). Too bad supposedly conservative radio talker Hugh Hewitt is so stuck on Fox News and doesn't even mention Newsmax.

I'm not sure what anyone expects to get out of this. We've had four years to see this person do absolutely nothing except allow millions of illegals into the country and lie about it. My take is that if anyone is still undecided about who to vote for at this point, do the country and taxpayers a favor and don't vote. Trump has a record of success as president, Kamala has no record of success doing anything.

Who cares...I don't watch Baier anyway...he did a number on President Trump in 2016 along with that woman who attacked him on the woman issues...he answered he only hated Rosie O'Donnel...the response was a classic and she lost her following because of her attack...and her position at Fox...the only people I watch is Gutfeld and Waters...and sometimes the Five...but I left Fox years ago when they started to play the woke game....

Bret Baier is a NEVER TRUMPER and as such cannot be trusted. Don't waste your time. She was raised by her Mom as a middle class child who wants nothing but blue skies and happy times for everyone. There, that sums up the interview. Oh, orange man bad! MAGA

Didn't Comma-LA inform ABC not to ask questions about certain subjects? Will she/has she done that with Fox and if so did Fox agree?
I don’t plan to watch as I know there'll be videos galore available and cogent (as well as entertaining) commentary from LDotters. I'm looking forward to that!!

Trump should say no. He has no time on his schedule. She is acting out of desperation and he has nothing to gain at this point to have Bret Baier ask her softball question while challenging everything Trump says.

Some posters here have reminded us of what Baier and his co-host did in 2020. No need to further rehash that. I would like to remind everyone, however, that Fox News lost its editorial compass when it fired Roger Ailes (regardless of Ailes' other issues) and with Rupert Murdoch now in complete dotage mode, Murdoch's sons with woke, hen-pecking wives are now at the reins. Let's recall that in 2020, one of those wives gleefully tweeted about Fox having assisted in Trump's defeat. The same Murdoch sons are the ones negotiating terms and conditions with the Harris campaign. So anyone who thinks this interview will not be staged should have a cranial examination...

So, lefty Baier will feed her some real hard ball questions such as what she eats, how long she sleeps etc. Trust me, he had to hand over the questions he will ask. She was interviewed by some sports people, and they stated that they had to hand over the questions beforehand and they were mush. Lefty Baier is as bad as Hume who claimed bidet's last shouted state of the union speech was the best he had ever heard. Right. So will be the claim that this was the toughest question interview this so-called prosecutor has ever faced. Right.

So let me understand. Some posters distrust Baier because of the Arizona call and refuse to watch his newscast. Fair enough. If you tune into the hour on a regular basis and believe Baier tilts left, that is a supportable position. But if you rely for your opinion of Baier solely on what others say and what you've believed for years, that is not a supportable position.
I appreciate # 16's comment suggesting it's OK to have a different opinion on such a matter. No vituperation, no name calling. I have been a card-carrying conservative since Goldwater. I find it offensive when someone suggests that because I don't fall in line with the prevailing view, I'm a RINO or worse. Intolerance on the left, I expect. On the right, depressing.
