The interview with Trump will be the first Baier has done with the former president since 2018, when he was still in office.
Fox News earned the top-rated hour of cable news on June 1 when it aired a pre-taped town hall with Trump. The event was hosted by Sean Hannity and took place in Clive, Iowa.
The town hall brought 2.78 million viewers to Fox News’s 9 p.m. hour. Of those viewers, 320,000 were in the 25-54 age demographic sought after by advertisers.
The night prior, Hannity saw 1.93 million viewers, with 176,000 in the 25-54 demographic.
In comparison, CNN’s live town hall with Trump last month saw 3.31Â million total viewers, according to Nielsen ratings.
A similar town hall on CNN with presidential candidate Nikki Haley didn’t fare as well. The event with Haley brought in just 522,000 viewers, more than half a million less than Fox News’s Life, Liberty, and Levin at the same time, although she did deliver a win for the network when it came to the key 25-54 age demographic.

The town hall saw 135,000 viewers in the demographic coveted by advertisers, beating out CNN’s competitors during the prime-time hours.
On Wednesday night, CNN will host former Vice President Mike Pence for a similar town hall event. Pence announced his 2024 candidacy on Wednesday during an event in Iowa.
