Kamala Harris didn’t get her second debate with Donald Trump — so she went on Fox News instead Harris clashes with Fox as she tries to peel away some GOP voters. Vice president clashed heatedly with pro-Trump network’s top anchor Bret Baier on Wednesday night in the kind of adversarial, unscripted scrum that Republicans have long accused her of avoiding.
Harris and Baier squabbled and interrupted one another, as he exposed her policy flip flops and reversals and she rammed home her talking points. The contentious clash, conducted in swing state Pennsylvania, had more in common with the vice president’s sole debate showdown with the former president than forensic, formal interviews where she’s often stumbled.
“May I please finish, you have to let me finish,” she said early in the interview, using a technique she has employed against male rivals in congressional hearings & debates in the past.
The vice president’s trip to Fox News showed how she’s trying to conjure new turning points in a contest with no clear leader.
With most swing states regarded as toss-ups. Trump’s decision to decline a second debate with his rival has meant the final weeks of campaign lack big scheduled moments that can change the race. In the end, on Wednesday, both Harris and Fox News probably got what they wanted.
She looked combative after daring to walk into the conservative media lair, struck a contrast with Trump, who largely avoiding tv news interviews in who, he'll be cross-examined. She singled out his extreme rhetoric & threats to use the military on “enemies from within” — in a way the channel’s viewers rarely see. Her performance bolstered her new campaign tactic of raising fresh alarm about 2nd Trump term, she said in a speech earlier Wed would see ex-president sit in Oval Office “plotting retribution, stew in his own grievances, think only about himself &⅝ not you.”
Harris did some damage control after saying in an interview that there wasn’t much she would have done differently from unpopular commander in chief over past 4-yrs. “My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency,” she said. “Like every new president comes into office, I'll bring my life experiences, my professional experiences & fresh new ideas.”
