Bret Baier's Interviews: A Tale of Two Approaches

Bret Baier, a Fox News anchor, has a reputation for asking tough questions. But how he asks them can vary greatly, as seen in his recent interviews with former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. With Trump, Baier started off easy, asking about the most important issue facing the country. Trump spoke for 45 seconds without interruption. Baier later dug into tougher topics like classified materials and the 2020 election.With Harris, Baier jumped right in with a specific question about illegal immigrants. He interrupted her 38 times in 27 minutes. That's nearly twice as often as he interrupted Trump. Why the difference? Maybe it's because Baier and Trump know each other well. Or maybe it's because the Harris campaign tried to limit the interview time. Either way, Baier's style changes, and that makes his interviews interesting to watch.
