Harris Faulkner Dukes It Out With Dem Guest Over Whether Kamala Should Debate Or Do Press Conferences

Fox News host Harris Faulkner sparred with Democratic strategist Richard Fowler Tuesday over Vice President Kamala Harris’ refusal to grant press conferences.

Harris accepted an invitation from CNN Saturday to debate former President Donald Trump in Atlanta on Oct. 23, the network reported. Fowler claimed that another debate with Trump would be a better forum for Americans to hear more from the vice president, who has not done a press conference since she replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for president following his July 21 announcement that he would end his reelection bid.

“Look, I think we do need to hear more from the vice president,” Fowler said after Faulkner mentioned the lack of press conferences. “But I can tell you, what’s better than a press conference is a debate. The vice president last week proposed another debate.”

“Actually, that’s not true,” Faulkner responded. “It wasn’t true with the last one and if you’re gonna make that, let’s put one on Fox and even the score of fact checking alone. You know we can do this.”

ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis received criticism for repeatedly interrupting Trump during the Sept. 10 debate hosted by the network and delivering so-called “fact checks” multiple times after Trump made statements during the debate. Faulkner and Fowler continued to verbally spar about the merits of press conferences versus debates.
