Kamala Harris’ sit-down with Fox News’ Bret Baier drew an estimated 7.1 million viewers, according to early Nielsen data, easily beating cable news rivals.
The interview also drew 882,000 in the 25-54 demo.
The interview was Harris’ first appearance on Fox News. It was at times contentious, as Harris and Baier talked over one another at points. Harris at one point called out Baier for not running a complete clip in which Trump attacks opponents as “the enemy within.”
The Baier-Harris interview surpassed the audience of other high profile political interviews this cycle.
