Kamala Harris Faces Off with Bret Baier in a Contentious Interview

While Vice President Kamala Harris may not have the opportunity to debate former President Donald J. Trump again, she certainly found herself in a heated exchange with Bret Baier on Wednesday. As Fox News’s chief political anchor, Baier wasted no time in challenging the Democratic presidential nominee on a range of topics, including illegal immigration and the use of taxpayer funds for gender-transition surgeries—issues that Trump frequently targets in his criticisms of the Biden administration.

The interview quickly escalated, with Baier probing whether Harris considered Trump’s supporters to be “stupid.” Harris firmly responded, “I would never say that about the American people.” In another tense moment, Baier pressed her about a recent tragedy involving the murder of a 12-year-old girl in Texas, whose case has been cited by Trump as part of his narrative against immigration, due to the alleged involvement of two Venezuelan migrants.

Baier’s combative approach echoed the tough coverage that Harris regularly faces on Fox News, a platform known for its critical stance toward her and the administration. Many viewers tuned in, eager to see how she would handle such direct questions.

However, throughout the interview, Baier often interrupted Harris, cutting off her responses prematurely. His first interruption occurred less than thirty seconds into their discussion. At one point, visibly frustrated, Harris pleaded, “May I please finish responding? I’m in the middle of addressing the point you’re making, and I’d like to complete my thought.”
