Kamala Harris spars with Bret Baier over immigration in Fox News interview
Al Jazeera
The Democratic presidential candidate defended her track record and called for solutions to a ‘broken immigration system’ in the US.
From its first moments, the interview was contentious.
On Wednesday, United States Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with the conservative-leaning network Fox News, as her campaign attempts to attract voters disenchanted with her Republican rival, Donald Trump.
But host Bret Baier wasted no time zeroing in on the focus of their discussion: immigration.
He confronted her with a Trump campaign advertisement and a video of a bereaved mother, testifying to Congress about the death of her child, allegedly at the hands of two undocumented immigrants.
Harris, however, pointed out that irregular immigration across the US-Mexico border was a concern long before she was elected vice president in 2021 — including under Trump, a former president.
