Fox News host Bret Baier couldn’t help but share the chaotic aftermath of his sit-down with Vice President Kamala Harris, her first-ever interview with the conservative network. As Baier pressed Harris on hot topics like immigration, things got heated, with interruptions and talking points flying across the table. As the exchanges became more intense, Baier revealed that Harris’ staff frantically signaled for the interview to end, with “four people waving their hands” as he tried to wrap things up.
During the nearly 30-minute face-off, Baier and Harris frequently spoke over each other, with Harris at one point snapping, “You have to let me finish,” as Baier pushed for direct answers. “Madam Vice President, they’re giving me a hard wrap,” Baier had to finally cut in, officially ending their testy exchange. Harris quickly responded, “Well, I thank you for the time,” keeping it cordial despite the on-screen tension.
In a campaign move, her team posted clips of the Fox News interview across social media, celebrating the vice president’s “toughness” in facing a challenging line of questioning. Campaign Communications Director Brian Fallon praised her for “reaching an audience that likely hasn’t heard her arguments” and “standing tall” against tough scrutiny. It’s clear Harris’ team intended to make an impression—and they certainly did.
