Vice President Kamala Harris will conduct her first-ever Fox News interview on Wednesday, which will be conducted by the network’s chief political anchor, Bret Baier.
The news of Harris’s first sit-down interview with the network comes as the 2024 presidential election is in less than a month, with both candidates seeking to shore up their support ahead of Election Day. The interview will air on Fox News’s Special Report with Bret Baier on Wednesday at 6 p.m. Eastern time, according to a news release from the network.
Baier will conduct the interview in Pennsylvania, arguably the most sought-after state in the Electoral College.
In recent weeks, both Harris and former President Donald Trump have conducted rallies and interviews, with Harris appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast and doing a sit-down interview on 60 Minutes. Trump, meanwhile, has turned down the opportunity to do a 60 Minutes interview, instead doing interviews on The Hugh Hewitt Show and a number of other podcasts.
On the same day of Harris’s interview with Baier, Fox News will also air a town hall with Trump featuring a women-only audience, which will be moderated by network anchor Harris Faulkner. This town hall will be pretaped and air on Faulkner’s show The Faulkner Focus at 11 a.m. ET.

Both Fox News and CNN have offered to host one more debate between the two presidential candidates, though the former president resoundingly rejected both offers, citing how early voting is already underway in a number of states. He also pointed to Harris’s comment on The View talk show about how she would not have done anything differently over the last 3 1/2 years.
Harris has argued that Trump’s staff is the reason he will not do another debate, as his staff believes “he’s just not ready.” Her attacks mirror the ones that Trump lobbed at President Joe Biden prior to suspending his reelection bid, which was preceded by concerns over Biden’s mental fitness to continue serving as president.
