Harris Shockingly Agrees to Interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier

Harris holds a two- to three-point lead in most national polls. In most battleground states, she and Trump are about even.

My guess is that her internal polling is even worse because why else would she agree to do an interview on Fox News with Bret Baier?

The Lion’s Den

Say what you want about Donald Trump, but the man does not fear walking into a hostile media setting for an interview. In fact, I think he thrives on it.

Harris, however, has shied away from doing hostile media, usually going for softballs with friendly media types that she knows will not ask any really hard or confrontational questions.

Harris has only one real hope to win this election if things fall the way we think they will fall, and this is to do a clean sweep of the Blue Wall states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. If she does that, she likely lands on 270 exactly.

If not, Harris will have to win two of three, while needing to win two states between Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, which will be hard for her to pull off. However, all those states are packed with Fox News viewers, which is why I believe she is doing this interview.

Walz already failed

Her running mate, Governor Tim Walz, has already done Fox News twice, making back-to-back appearances on “Fox News Sunday,” but it did not go well. This past weekend, Shannon Bream chewed him up and spat him out, with Walz literally sitting there with his mouth hanging open in disbelief at one point.

Unlike other mainstream media outlets, which are more like state-run media these days, Walz could not get away with spewing lies without being challenged. To Bream’s credit, she does the same thing when she has Republicans on.

For my money, the three hardest, honest interviewers in the news today are Bret Baier, Shannon Bream, and Jake Tapper (although he has been very disappointing since Trump took office in 2016).

To that point, Harris will appear with Bret Baier on Wednesday night on “Special Report,” and I expect Baier to ask the hard questions nobody else will ask Harris. He will also not be afraid to challenge her when she lies or twists her facts.

Will Emhoff allegations be addressed?

The one topic I am curious to see if he addressed would be the allegations made against her husband, Doug Emhoff.

Emhoff is facing allegations of having slapped an ex so hard that she “spun around.” He is also being accused of running a sexist, demeaning, and misogynist office. Former co-workers have stated that he was running all-male cocktail hours and degrading to secretaries, then joking about it.

This is a big deal because Harris was so vocal during the height of the #MeToo movement, insisting that all “victims” needed to be believed and supported. But how will she feel when she shares a home with the accused?
