There are 19 days left until the US presidential election. While Donald Trump held two televised public meetings on Wednesday, Kamala Harris stood up for an interview with the conservative channel Fox News. – Let me be clear. My presidency will not be a “continuation” of Joe Biden’s presidency, she told the channel’s political anchor Brett Baier. She went on to say that, like every new president, she will take her life experiences with her into the presidency. – I represent a new generation of leadership, said Harris. The channel is not seen as friendly territory for Harris, but she could have a lot to gain from running: There are still undecided voters More of the independent voters watch Fox News She can speak directly to Fox viewers, who largely colored by right-wing commentators’ view of Harris She can argue with more weight that it is Trump who now only gives interviews to friendly media and, perhaps most importantly, she can appeal to conservative voters Fox News is the largest of the US cable companies followed by MSNBC and CNN. Around 2.3 million Americans watch Fox in prime time, according to the channel itself. The interview with Harris was broadcast at 18, which is two hours before what is defined as prime time. Kamala Harris has received criticism for staying away from established media. She and vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz have given fewer interviews and press conferences than previous couples. But especially in the last couple of weeks, Harris has become more accessible to the press corps that travels with her.

At Fox News, Harris was interviewed by Bret Baier. The journalist has previously been the channel’s emissary in the White House and the Pentagon. Even before the interview, Baier came out and assured skeptical Fox viewers that the interview would be uninterrupted and unedited. On social media, several claimed that Baier would give Harris the questions in advance. Photo: @BretBaier / X Trump’s public meetings are also tailored to reach certain groups. In the one televised rally, Trump took questions only from women, who have been skeptical of tightening abortion laws. In the second meeting, Latinos were the target group. Earlier in the week, attention was drawn to a rally Trump held in Pennsylvania. Instead of answering questions, the 78-year-old stood and danced to music for half an hour. It was hot in the room and a couple in the audience fainted and needed medical help. Trump asked for the doors to be opened and for music to be played. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who moderated the public meeting in Oaks, Pennsylvania, wasn’t sure how to react to half an hour of dancing. Here, Donald Trump has just danced to the song “YMCA”.

Kamala Harris was quick to express concern for her rival’s state of health. – I hope he is well, she wrote on social media and forwarded a video clip of the unusual performance.
