Democrats step up Fox News appearances as Harris talks to Baier

Kamala Harris chat with Fox News Bret Baier today marks a shift in Democrats approach to the network. Since the partys convention in August‚ theres been a noticeable uptick in Dem appearances on Fox compared to previous campaigns

This trend raises questions about the partys strategy. Ian Sams Harris campaigns spokesman‚ said: “Its important to speak to all Americans‚ wherever they are getting their information or entertainment so they can hear directly from us — not through a filter — who Vice President Harris is‚ what she stands for and whats she running to do“

Donald Trump wasnt happy about this development. He grumbled on social media that Fox News has totally lost its way and complained about the frequent appearances of Sams on the network

Other Dems whove been on Fox recently include:
- Tim WalzHarris running mate
- Pete Buttigieg‚ Transportation Secretary
- Gavin Newsom‚ California Governor
- Josh Shapiro‚ Pennsylvania Governor

I think folks are still undecided out there

Fox News audience size makes it hard to ignore: its share of cable news viewers is more than CNN and MSNBC combined in most swing states except Nevada

Baier‚ who hosts a 6 p.m news hour is known for tough questions with aggressive follow-up. He took to social media to address viewer concerns saying “No one has the questions Except me“ and insisting the interview would be shown in its entirety

The Democrats strategy of engaging with Fox News remains a topic of debate within the party. While some see it as a chance to reach undecided voters others worry about legitimizing a network often seen as hostile to their cause
