Trump SLAMS Fox News Over Kamala Interview: What He Said

Former President Donald Trump has an on-again-off-again relationship with Fox News, though his position on the network really largely depends on the anchor he’s talking about.

In recent days, the former president has hit out at the network over the news that Harris is set to appear for an interview…after months of avoiding journalists at all costs.

At a glance:

  • Former President Trump criticized Fox News for being “weak and soft” after the network announced a sit-down interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
  • Harris will participate in her first interview with Fox, pre-taped with Bret Baier, sparking Trump’s discontent with the network’s coverage.
  • The interview comes after Harris faced pressure to do more mainstream media interviews ahead of the election.

Former President Donald Trump took a shot at Fox News on Monday evening, calling the network “weak and soft” after it announced that Vice President Kamala Harris would sit for a pre-taped interview with anchor Bret Baier. In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized Baier for being too soft on Democrats and expressed disappointment that Harris had chosen to interview with him.

Trump’s comments come as Harris prepares for her first-ever sit-down interview with Fox News, an event set to air Wednesday during the network’s “Special Report” newscast. Baier noted that the interview would undergo “minimal” editing, following allegations from Republicans that Harris’s previous major interview on CNN had been edited—a claim CNN denied.

Trump’s remarks also hinted at dissatisfaction with Fox News’s recent coverage of Democrats, with the former president accusing the network of giving too much unopposed airtime to Harris and her representatives. He suggested that a “hard-hitting” journalist would have been a better choice for the interview.

Meanwhile, Harris’s campaign has ramped up its media outreach, conducting interviews with both traditional and non-traditional outlets, including “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert and “The Howard Stern Show.” Her team also flipped the script, challenging Trump’s absence from mainstream media and questioning why the former president has not sat down for a major interview in over a month.

The interview, airing on Fox News from Pennsylvania, comes as both Harris and Trump intensify their media engagement in the final stretch of the presidential election campaign, with Election Day fast approaching on November 5.
