This is excellent, honestly. The purpose of this is to try and reach the few uninformed but persuadable voters who don’t actively seek out political information. Catching them flipping through channels at home, sitting in the doctors office, etc could really get their attention. There are still moderates who watch Fox News, and reaching them is so important.Â

So Trump, who has dementia and not accountable to the people can do less and get a bigger pass from the mainstream media? This is a double standard. Harris is held to an unfair standard.
And Biden was too old! And trump doesn’t have to sit down with opposing media stations?

Eventual Fox News complaining that Fox News gave her a softball interview.

Cool. Gotta give her credit for going into the lion’s den even if it’s not guaranteed that it will move the needle much.Â

I can’t wait for good-faith Fox News questions like “Why do you want to destroy America?” and “Will you finally publicly apologize for the armies of insane murderous criminals you’ve let into the country with your communist open borders?”

Orange Turd man will surely love this.

Must be a local station – because the cable version is licensed as an entertainment channel

Shouldn’t she just call in and ramble for an hour while breathing heavily and hitting buttons on the phone by accident? That’s what the Fox viewing audience has come to expect from presidential candidates.

Harris could nail an interview on a hostile news network on the same day that Trump incoherently rambles about wanting to have the active duty military deployed to attack Americans. And somehow….polls are tied.
I’m looking forward to her speaking slowly and clearly during the interview. Trump will respond with “I don’t understand what she’s saying at all”, and all of the right wing will think his inability to understand is a *good thing*.
Safe_Presentation962 on
She HAS to have a better answer for “are Americans better off today than they were 4 years ago?” She just has to, and it’s absolutely certain FOX will ask that. Her avoiding that answer every time is so obvious.
I’m no political consultant but it needs to be along these lines:
* Country was in dire straits when Biden took office. Rampant Covid, supply chains around the world shut down.
* Yes, Americans had to endure pain while trying to right the ship. The whole world experienced inflation. A lot of things from supply chains to war to stimulus money pushed up inflation in the US, but that stimulus, along with IRA, CHIPS, Infra, etc, also were a long-term play to ensure the economy didn’t crash. And it didn’t.
* Now pivot to how strong the economy is now. Yes prices for many things are still high, but workers wages are up too. It still feels bad to look at the price tags. But if you look at the numbers, Americans ARE better off today.
* Pivot to the biggest challenges that remain (such as housing and childcare) and how she plans to address them.
* All of this is a testament to how resilient this country is, and how good Democrats are with the economy and addressing real needs.

I hope she trolls the shit out of him

Please, please, let Trump try to crash or interrupt this interview! I want to see him exposed as the baby he is to his Fox followers.

Harris going on the trump campaign network is maybe one of the most brave campaign choices I can think of.

She’s gonna want to go through the Buttigieg Boot Camp so she can parry as successfully as he does when he appears on Faux News

Fox Entertainment. That propaganda machine doesn’t deserve to be called news. They even argued in court that they are entertainment.

The way I see it, she’s exploiting every opportunity she can get to expose him as the weaker guy, even if it’s going to seem one sided against her.

She needs to go on Rogan as well.
The broey guys who’s vote she will need to win the EC listen to Rogan. He has a huge reach.

Bret generally tries to be a fairly neutral journalist. Trump didn’t seem to like his questioning. This is certainly better than the talking heads like Hannity, Ingraham, Watters, etc.
polarwaves on
Honestly. This is pretty smart. Conservatives keep crying that she’s dodging Fox interviews, now how will they move the goal posts?
che-che-chester on
I agree that she shouldn’t do only friendly interviews like Trump. But I’m not sure you gain anything by doing interviews with news outlets that openly attack you. A very small percentage of Fox News watchers are even willing to consider voting for Harris. It’s more likely they hit her with a bunch of gotcha questions that provide more clips for fight wing media.
yoho808 on
Will this be a live interview, or will they edit clips to make Harris look bad?
Doppelfrio on
Because it’s the only way some of these people are going to listen to her

The Harris campaign is the smartest, best presidential campaign I have ever seen. Of course she should do this, and she will crush it.

Bret Baier is fair – at least it’s not with one of the crazies like Hannity or Ingraham.

This is a good move on her part.
Now Trump do MSNBC or you’re a pussy
