Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, took on Fox News in a Wednesday night interview that highlighted two key points:

1. She showed significantly more courage than her rival, Donald Trump.
2. Fox News continues to act as a platform for the Republican Party.

Harris deserves recognition for participating in an interview she was likely aware would feature challenging questions aimed at provoking her, similar to the notorious “basket of deplorables” comment made by Hillary Clinton.

In contrast, Trump had canceled a scheduled interview with CNBC and skipped the opportunity to appear on “60 Minutes,” opting instead for a Fox News town hall where he faced soft questions from supporters.

Bret Baier frequently interrupted Harris during her interview

In terms of bravery, Harris certainly scored points, while Trump continues to project an image of a “weak man pretending to be tough.”

During the interview, Fox News host Bret Baier was tasked with questioning Harris. His demeanor suggested a lack of respect for her as a powerful woman, as he consistently interrupted her. Although his questions were sharp and deserved follow-ups, he rarely allowed Harris to fully respond, frequently cutting her off.

Baier’s relentless questioning was more aggressive than what Trump has ever faced from the network.

Trump supporters might claim that Harris didn’t perform well, yet for anyone outside that echo chamber, it was clear that she stood her ground admirably in an overtly hostile setting.

Harris confronted Fox News over disingenuous Trump footage

At one point, Baier played a clip from a previous gentle interview of Trump where he tried to downplay his recent controversial comments about Americans he disagrees with being “the enemy from within.”

Harris promptly challenged Baier, stating, “I’m sorry and, with all due respect, that clip does not reflect what he has said about the enemy within when addressing the American people.”

Would Fox ever pose similar questions to Trump? Certainly not.

During the first question of the interview, Baier interrupted Harris a staggering six times, constantly speaking over her.

The challenges raised during the interview were valid, and Harris did sidestep many critical inquiries regarding the Biden administration’s immigration policies. However, what this interview demonstrated is that Harris can effectively handle herself in a highly adversarial atmosphere—something many may have suspected but possibly shocked honest Fox News viewers.

Above all, Harris’s willingness to engage with this tough interview site reflects her campaign’s confidence and aims to reach out to conservative and independent voters. She maintained her composure and didn’t walk out or lash out at the interviewer despite the tough inquiries.

That’s something no one can say about Donald Trump.
