Vice President Kamala Harris declined on Wednesday to answer why the majority of the country believes the United States is on the “wrong track” after three and a half years of the Biden administration. 

The question was posed by Fox News host Bret Baier during the vice president’s first sit-down interview with the network. The interview aired during Baier’s “Special Report” and was conducted in Pennsylvania. It focused on top voter concerns heading into the general election in November, such as immigration and the economy. 

“More than 70% of people [say] the country is on the wrong track,” Baier said. “If it’s on the wrong track, that track follows three and a half years of you being vice president and President [Joe] Biden being president … Why are they saying that if you’re turning the page, you’ve been in office for three and a half years.”

Harris pushed back that former President Donald Trump has been “running for a decade,” to which Baier questioned what she meant.

“What I’m talking about is that over the last decade … it is clear to me and certainly the Republicans who are on same stage with me, the former Chief of Staff to the President Donald Trump, former Defense Secretaries, national security adviser and his vice president, one, that he is unfit to serve, that he is unstable, that he is dangerous, and that people are exhausted with someone who professes to be a leader who spends full time demeaning and engaging in personal grievances and it being about him instead of the American people. People are tired of that.” 

When Baier pushed about more than half the country supporting Trump, despite Harris’ claims about people being tired of him, she merely stated that elections are “not supposed to be easy.” 

The nearly 30-minute interview featured other moments where Harris and Baier spoke over each other, including on the more controversial topics like Biden’s mental acuity. They also kept interrupting each other on the first question, regarding border security and immigration.

“Bret let’s just get to the point. The point is we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired,” Harris started to say. 

Baier then began to speak over the vice president about Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claiming that six million people have been released into the United States during the Biden administration. He then asked whether she had any regrets about the decision to roll back the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policies.

“Within practically hours of taking the oath, the first bill that we offered Congress, before we worked on infrastructure, before the inflation Reduction Act, before the CHIPS and science act, before the bipartisan Safer Communities Act. The first bill, practically within hours of taking the oath, was a bill to fix our immigration system,” Harris said.

“You have to let me finish,” Harris added, when Baier interrupted once more.

The vice president did express sympathy for the mother of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was allegedly sexually abused and killed by illegal immigrants, and other victims who were allegedly killed by illegal immigrants, such as Laken Riley and Rachel Morin.

“I can’t imagine the pain that the families of those victims have experienced for a loss that should not have occurred,” Harris said sincerely. “I’m so sorry for her loss. I’m so sorry for her loss sincerely. But let’s talk about what is happening right now with an individual who does not want to participate in solutions.”
