Bret Baier criticizes Kamala Harris for arriving late and shortening interview

Fox News anchor Bret Baier has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her campaign's handling of a recent interview.

According to Baier, Harris arrived 15 minutes late for a scheduled interview in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, which was supposed to begin at 5 p.m. Baier claimed the interview was initially set for 25-30 minutes but was shortened to 20 minutes by Harris' team. The Fox News host noted that this delay made it difficult for his production team to air the interview during his 6 p.m. show.

Baier compared the campaign's actions to a football team trying to "ice the kicker" before an important play. He expressed frustration over Harris allegedly "filibustering" during the interview, making it hard for him to ask additional questions. At one point, several Harris campaign staffers reportedly signaled to Baier to wrap up the interview.

Social media reactions were mixed, with some criticizing Harris for the delay, while others defended her busy schedule as the election nears. The Harris campaign has yet to respond to Baier's allegations. The interview reportedly included questions on immigration, border security, and President Biden's cognitive abilities, which Harris allegedly avoided answering directly.
