Harris talks tough issues in first Fox News sit-down

VP Kamala Harris made her Fox News debut (roughly a year ago) in a tense chat with Bret Baier. The 30-minute talk got heated as they discussed hot-button topics

Immigration was first on the agenda. Harris admitted the system needs fixing but pointed out Donald Trumps role in blocking a border bill. She made it clear: “I do not believe in decriminalizing border crossings‚ and Iʼve not done that as vice president‚ and I will not do that as president.“ The back-and-forth got intense; Harris had to say‚ “You have to let me finish‚ please“

Baier brought up a Trump ad about Harrisʼs past support for gender-affirming surgeries for inmates. Harris hit back‚ saying Trump followed the same policy: its a non-issue meant to scare voters

When asked how sheʼd differ from Biden‚ Harris stated‚ “Let me be very clear‚ my presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Bidenʼs presidency.“ She emphasized her fresh ideas and non-Washington background

The talk got fiery when discussing Trumps rhetoric. Harris accused Fox of cherry-picking clips‚ saying‚ “You and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him“

On Bidens mental state‚ Harris dodged direct questions. Instead‚ she praised his judgment and experience‚ then pivoted to Trump‚ calling him “unfit“ for office

The interview ended with more tension. Baier hoped Harris “got to say what you wanted to say about Donald Trump.“ Harris pushed for a fact-based discussion about election choices
