She won the election based on this interview. She showed real grit and strength, a steady leader in major contrast to a Trump. Well done. She will be respected for this and it will turn a few undecided heads..

I think it’s gross that she has to distance herself from Biden.
I’m not blaming her either. I’m blaming the ignorant-ass public. Biden’s only sin as POTUS has been being old. The actual job? FOH. Give me 100 more years of Biden-esque competence in the presidency.
I’d like to think that someday his work as POTUS will be appreciated by more than 40% of the country and we’ll look back at how incredibly stupid “having to create distance from Biden to pander to people who don’t know anything” was.

That blockhead excuse for a journalist keeping interrupting and talking over her. He wouldn’t allow her to answer any questions. Despite that, Kamala did well. Fox news is a joke.

If she can stand up to a Trump shill like Baer she can certainly hold her own with Putin and Xi.

I really don’t think Trump can win this election. I truly think Biden would have beaten Trump and I’m confident that Harris will beat him. Trump won the first time because people didn’t know him. Now alot of independent voters and some republicans can’t stand him. There’s no way he wins.

Everyone knows the Presidential thing to do would be to 1. Call Fox News fake news and a disgrace. 2. Insult the interviewer. 3. Refuse to take any more questions. 4. Whip out your favorite playlist, stand up and vibe to it (and hope a stiff breeze doesn’t blow you over).
Bonus points: Shit yourself on national TV mid vibe.

Noice how when Trump says something insane, it is rebranded by his sycophants as something completely innocent.
When Kamala repeats his words verbatim, it is “bashing.”
Perfect example of holding two completely different options and a sign of mental unfitness.

I think she started off somewhat weak, but ultimately looked pretty sharp. She did a good job of pivoting back to her points and getting back to the narrative she wanted to give instead of giving Baer what he wanted her to give. Overall, I think it went well. Her strongest aspect was when she got to discuss Trump’s rhetoric, and very much so got Baer on edge over that.
guppyur on
I am watching this interview right now and my main takeaway is that this isn’t a serious interview. Baier keeps interrupting and talking over Harris, and most of his questions are “Have you stopped beating your wife?” questions where he starts from false premises and invites her to self-flagellate. Baier should be embarrassed and Harris should stop talking to Fox.

All you have to do to bash that fat orange fuck is run down a list of his behavior in a typical day. He’s a degenerate scumbag and his cult is a disease.

She put up a fight and had a strong finish but she held a few punches maybe.. there’s a lot more she could have said against Trump-Vance, like Vance’s willingness to not certify future election results if Dems win or Trumps strong arm tactics to overturn the last election.
Also she could have mentioned Trumps tariff plan would likely lead to high prices and unemployment (Google smoot-hawley tariffs), his big deficit increase will trash the dollar.

I liked that she was relently during the whole of the interview. She ignored his setups and stupidly configured questions with no good answers, and she just steamrolled all over that garbage with her own actually good and useful information voters actually need to hear.
She was smart to keep talking and eat up all his time. I bet he had 4x the questions vs what he actually got to ask, and each and every question prepared was a trap intended to only create bad answers and talking points to follow up shows. It was VERY smart to not give him time for any of that crap. And when he did ask a dumb question, she just ignored it and did her own thing.
This was very much NOT an interview, and there was no good faith in the setup at all. Every single question presented was built with nefarious intent, every single one. None were built to create discussion on anything. Every single one was just a narrative bullet point.
She took a great path through it all. She took that path that placed no power in their hands through the whole thing.
I also like to think that her presence and demeanor might have also swayed some voters, perhaps. She was calm, respectful, but also assertive, and authoritative. She presented good qualities of leadership taking ownership of a situation and managing it.
My only gripe is a personal one. She’s purposefully being emotionally conservative. She’s reserved. If this is good or bad, I’m not sure. It’s a neutral position, but there’s value in emotion. There’s a natural want of people to develop buy-in to the emotional state of a person, a natural want for empathy. If she was perhaps slightly more candidate, more natural to her feelings, that dynamic would engage more significantly with viewers. But, she runs the risk of creating conflict with personalities that don’t align. It’s a mixed bag.

Alright, I finally watched it. It wasn’t really an interview as much as it was a pseudo-journalistic attack, trying to pin her on really specious things that she had no personal power over, or otherwise have no bearing on the race. She, in turn, realized that these were not serious questions and used most of her time to reiterate her campaign highlights for the folks watching who might not have heard them before. I think it was too short of an interview to get to anything really meaningful, so she stuck to the biggest issue possible, which is Trump’s lack of fitness for office. If conservatives think this is a win for them, they’re delusional.

Why don’t the media report on the fake fucking journalism being done at fox news? Brett Bauer is their best guy? He just jumps on her with backhanded slap questions that are actually just misstatements of fact, and then doesn’t let her answer. reminds of fucking bill o’reilly.
“Can you please tell me why it is that you hate babies? When did you first realize you hated babies?”
That’s absolutely shit, and if I were her, I would have sat in my chair and asked when he was going to ask me a real question. I do think she stayed too much in politician mode.
I wanted to hear more of the ‘Oh please Brett you and I both know that’s not true!’

She kept her cool. I was boiling at some of the shit he was doing. Constantly cutting her off, idk what the fuck that poll was from Marquette Law School.. why didn’t they show the other stats too, that were favoring Dems? Real head scratcher.
There was one point where all she had to do was elevate her voice ever so slightly and it put him in his place. Keep going Kamala.
Her and her team are doing a masterful job at one of the hardest tasks of our time. Her resilience and bravery will, hopefully, bring about a desperately needed time of change and enlightenment. It is fitting that she is named after the Lotus flower 🪷

My older brother is a trump supporter. He straight up told me he is fearful for my life if Harris becomes president. He says that immigrants are going to bust through my door and rape my family as well as that I need to make the smart choice to protect my family and his nephew by voting trump. Sometimes you just have to take a couple steps back and really think before you talk.

She didn’t distance herself from Biden, she spoke very plainly that she is a different person who brings different expertise from Biden. The only notable distance was Fox’s attempt to bring Biden into the conversation when she is the candidate on the ballot. She called out their attempt at manipulating the conversation and rightly so. If you watch very carefully, Fox tried to repeatedly get her to say certain words that would have condemned and confirmed but she saw right through them and wasn’t having any of it.

Hey MAGA voters, what have you got?
A broken old man without a clue, fully backed by the Project 2025 Nazi manifesto. He’s scared to debate again and can’t keep his mind on a single point beyond inciting irrational fears from lies. So, you’re backing a liar, racist, women-hater and felon. Not impressive.
Meanwhile, Harris has a simple but wide-ranging policy, built on past accomplishments as a launching point for more growth in multiple areas of need for the country – all to support people. Not just her voters, but all people in the country as befits their needs.
So, MAGA voters, you have nothing for others to admire. Nothing. Your most impressive act would be to change your vote and show that your brain and your heart can be swayed by facts and consideration for the bigger picture.
