Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), the Democratic vice presidential nominee, will join Fox News Sunday for his first solo interview on Oct. 6 at 2:00 p.m. according to a Saturday announcement.
The outlet said Shannon Bream will ask him about the state of the race, the September vice presidential debate and other news of the day.
Walz has come under attention recently from some in the media for not doing more appearances.
“I’m bewildered a little bit by the absence of both the presidential candidate and the vice presidential candidate on television since they became the nominees,” CNN’s Jake Tapper said o ahead of the vice presidential debate earlier this week. “Because that’s how people get to know you and they haven’t really spent a lot of time with either of them before now. So, I also think that it may be a little bit of a problem for Walz having not done this.”
Walz received criticism after he faced off with Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), with some observers sayign he came off as less polished than his counterpart.
“I think the lack of interviews that he has done with national media, with local media, it showed he needed more reps,” CNN’s Dana Bash said after the debate.
Prior to the debate, Walz sat down for a joint interview conducted by Bash alongside Vice President Harris in August.
The Harris campaign did not release any information on the interview prior to the network’s announcement.
