Brit Hume: 'Combative' Harris didn't 'clear doubts' with Fox interview

Fox News pundit Brit Hume said Vice President Harris did little to quell critics with an interview she granted to the network this week.

"She was combative and energetic and she certainly landed some blows on Donald Trump," Hume said on Fox minutes after anchor Bret Baier's interview with Harris concluded. "But in terms of how well she answered your questions ... she didn't give you much Bret and you did a great job of posing those questions."

During the less than half hour long interview, which was the Vice President's first formal sit down with the top-rated cable news channel, Baier and Harris sparred over her positions on immigration, gender-affirming surgery for prisoners and foreign policy.

"I'm sure her partisans will look at that and say yay Kamala," Hume continued. "She fought you. But if people have doubts about her I don't think she cleared them up."

Harris' sit down with Fox was seen as a major moment in the 2024 campaign for president with less than three weeks until Election Day.

The Vice President told Baier her presidency would "not be a continuation" of President Biden's and warned that former President Trump would use violence to crack down on his critics if elected.

Harris has repeatedly pressed Trump to debate her again before election day, an offer the former president has rejected saying there is not enough time before Nov. 5.

Trump took part in a town hall that aired on Fox earlier on Thursday, which focused on women's issues and the economy.
