On Wednesday, Harris will be interviewed on Fox News Channel with Anchor Bret Baier during Special Reports, which airs at 6pm Eastern.
According to Mediaite, Baier has shown himself to be a tough but fair interviewer. He is always respectful of his guests, but he almost certainly will question Harris on some subjects that have been avoided on friendlier turf, particularly The View appearances and various alternative podcasts.
Baier is expected to press the vice president on topics that Fox News viewers seem to hold dearest — immigration issues under the Biden-Harris administration. Harris has successfully punted any failures on the border by blaming Trump for effectively killing a bipartisan bill. Still, she has failed to answer why it took over three years to put that forth or enact the Executive Orders that have brought down border crossings dramatically.
But while Harris might risk getting her feet held to the fire, this is still potentially a massive win for her.
Harris is also weighing joining the podcaster Joe Rogan, whose show reaches millions of men across the political spectrum, and who has joked that a "puppet master" was behind Harris' strong debate performance against Trump.
The effort reflects increasing anxiety within Democratic circles about Harris' waning momentum in the handful of decisive election states and fears that her under-performance with men, and Black men in particular, could doom her bid for the White House.
Over a quarter of young Black men say they would support Trump in the election race, according to a September poll by the NAACP, the nation's largest civil rights organization. Biden received about 80% of the Black male vote in 2020.
Harris' lead over Trump has narrowed in recent days, several polls show. Her lead held steady at 3 points in the latest national Reuters/Ipsos poll and other battleground state polls show the two in a dead heat.
Harris has been on a media blitz, speaking with friendly hosts from comedy shows, talk shows and podcasts.
