Fox News’ Bret Baier has set the stage for what promises to be a highly anticipated interview with Kamala Harris, scheduled for Wednesday on Special Report. Baier, who announced the interview on Monday, invited the public to weigh in on what questions they’d most like to see Harris answer. “I want to hear from you. What would you ask @vp Harris?” Baier posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. He emphasized that the interview, while pre-taped, would be aired unedited and that he alone would decide on the final questions.
The public response was immediate and varied, reflecting the numerous controversies and policy decisions that have defined Harris’s tenure. Many conservatives took the opportunity to ask tough questions on issues ranging from economic policy to personal matters.
New York Post reporter Jonathan Levine brought up Harris’s recent announcement of a loan program aimed specifically at Black entrepreneurs, asking, “When did it become legal to hand out loans to people based on their race?” This policy has drawn criticism from those who argue that it could violate principles of equal treatment under the law.
Others were focused on the broader economic picture. Jeff Carlson, a writer, suggested, “First ask Kamala about the details of her economic plan. Then ask her to explain how it would be funded.” He continued with a bonus question about how Harris’s policies would impact the U.S. dollar and the country’s monetary system.
Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker took a political angle, questioning Harris’s criticisms of President Trump. “Why should people believe your claims that former President Trump will do things he didn’t do during 4 years in office while believing you’ll do things you didn’t do during your 4 years in office?” Walker’s comment reflects the growing skepticism among some voters regarding Harris’s ability to deliver on her campaign promises.
Some responses touched on personal and controversial matters, including Margot Cleveland from The Federalist, who referenced recent allegations against Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff. She asked, “There is currently more evidence that Doug struck his ex-girlfriend than that Justice Kavanaugh even met Christy Blasey Ford. Does Doug still drink? Has Doug ever been violent with you?”
It’s clear that the public has plenty of hard-hitting questions for Harris, who has faced criticism for focusing on talking points rather than substantive issues. As Baier gears up for this high-profile interview, he’s made it clear that he wants to address the topics that matter most to viewers, promising no spin and no edits. With an array of critical topics on the table, Harris will need to navigate this interview carefully, as the public—and perhaps her political opponents—will be watching closely.
