Kamala Harris will sit down with Bret Baier for her first Fox News interview

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will be interviewed by Fox News host Bret Baier in Pennsylvania on Wednesday as she ramps up her travel and conversations with media outlets in the closing stages of the presidential campaign.

It will be her first meeting with the network and her first interview with a news outlet outside her ideological comfort zone since running for the Democratic nomination.

Harris has previously given interviews to CNN and CBS's “60 Minutes,” as well as fellow venues such as ABC's “The View” and Howard Stern's radio show.

Most of the interviews took place within the last two weeks, marking a departure from her decision not to speak to the media at the start of her campaign.

The Fox News interview is scheduled to air Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET. Baier is Fox News' primary political host and one of the few prominent people on the network whose identity is not associated with conservative commentary.

After facing criticism for avoiding interviews early in her candidacy, Harris has sought to turn the tables on Republican nominee Donald Trump. On Sunday in Greenville, North Carolina, Harris criticized him for not releasing his medical records and declining a “60 Minutes” interview.

“You ask yourself: Why does his staff want him to hide?,” she said. “You have to ask yourself, ‘Are they afraid that people will see that he’s too weak and unstable to lead America?’ Is that what’s going on?”
