Harris interview on Fox News got over 7M+ viewers

More than seven million viewers watched the Bret Baier interview with Vice President Harris on Wednesday.  That’s over three times more than his usual audience and more than double his average viewership.  And Harris is mostly getting positive reviews on her performance on the conservative network.

Fox News's "Special Report with Bret Baier" weekday programme typically accrues between two and four million viewers on average.

But last evening's edition of the show, which featured an exclusive sit-down with Kamala Harris, drew an estimated 7.1 million viewers, according to data from the Nielsen media analytics company.

Such figures would make the heated 25-minute interview one of the biggest audiences the vice-president has reached since she launched her campaign in July.

Wednesday's interview also marked the first time Harris has ever appeared on Fox News, which is largely shunned nowadays by Democratic lawmakers but remains the top-rated cable news network ahead of CNN and MSNBC.

And here’s an update from The Wrap on the total audience, including rebroadcast viewers:

Overall, the hour marked the show’s highest-rated episode since 2020, when it drew 6.7 million total viewers and 901,000 in the 25-54 demo. When combining viewership for the interview airing from 6:00-6:30 p.m. and its rebroadcast from 12:00-12:30 a.m. ET, the Harris sitdown scored 9.2 million total viewers and 1.4 million in the 25-54 demo.

Maybe the Never Trumpers and the Forever Haleys tuned in but I wonder how many Democrats may have watched Fox News for the first time, exclusively because of the interview.  Hmmm…..
