Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has accused Vice President Kamala Harris’s team of abruptly cutting short her recent interview with Fox News host Bret Baier.
This was Harris’s first interview on Fox since she became the Democratic presidential nominee, and it aired commercial-free for nearly 27 minutes. The conversation covered various critical campaign topics and Harris’s criticisms of Trump.
Shortly after the interview aired, the Trump campaign’s “Trump War Room” account on X (formerly Twitter) shared a brief clip claiming that Harris’s performance was so lacking that her team had to “throw in the towel.” They highlighted Baier’s remark, “They’re giving me a hard wrap here,” as evidence.
During a follow-up discussion on-air, Baier mentioned that Harris arrived later than anticipated and that they were trying to finish the interview before 6 p.m. He added, “It was cordial. I thanked her for her time, but her team was signaling me to wrap it up,” explaining his decision to end the conversation.
There was no clear evidence that Harris’s team ended the interview early or that they viewed it as a failure, countering the Trump campaign’s assertion.
