In that way, the interview was less revealing about Harris than it was about where the Trump campaign believes its strengths lie. Some Democrats have been getting weaker-kneed on defending trans issues lately, viewing it as a liability that’s not worth taking on. The Harris team reacted positively to the showcase, saying it evinced strength and a willingness to walk into the lion’s den. The Trump team was delighted with the outcome, with Trump, who has been ducking debates and mainstream press spots, tweeting favorably about Baier. His campaign team posted the entire interview, calling it “our newest ad.” And that says all you need to know about Fox News’ role in the endeavor, too.
