Former President Donald Trump’s campaign says Vice President Kamala Harris’ “handlers” abruptly ended her interview with Fox News host Bret Baier.
Harris met with Baier on Wednesday for her first interview on Fox News since becoming this year’s Democratic presidential nominee in July. The often controversial interview, which aired commercial-free for just under 27 minutes, touched on several hot-button campaign issues and the vice president’s criticism of Trump.
Just after the interview aired, the Trump campaign’s “Trump War Room” account on team was forced to “throw in the towel”. “
“WATCH: Bret Baier looks at Kamala officials as they throw in the towel and frantically push to end her disastrous interview. ‘They’re giving me a hard time here,'” the Trump campaign wrote.
During an on-air discussion after the interview, Baier said Harris arrived for the interview around 5:15 p.m., later than expected, and that Fox was “pushing the envelope” to complete what was supposed to be a 25 minute interview before. 6 p.m.
Baier said the following about the end of the interview on a TV show: Hannite shortly after: “It was cordial, I said: ‘thank you very much, Madam Vice President, for the time.’ His people, probably four people, had big moving arms around me, you know, which is why I looked to the side and said, “I have to wrap this up.” »
There is no indication that Harris’ team ended the interview early or that it ended because they thought it was a “disastrous” performance, despite claims by the Trump campaign.
News week reached out for comment to the Harris campaign via email Wednesday evening.
When reached for comment, a Fox spokesperson emphasized News week to Baier’s remarks.
