Trump to be interviewed during Fox Super Bowl pregame coverage
President Trump will sit for a wide-ranging interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier set to air before the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Sunday's conversation "will focus on the changes the Trump administration has enacted since the Inauguration and the first 100 days of his presidency," the network said.
It will be Trump's first formal sit-down with a news anchor on a major network since taking office last month. He sat for an Oval Office interview with Fox pundit Sean Hannity in late January.
Baier, Fox's top political anchor and correspondent, last interviewed Trump in 2023 when he was running for the Republican nomination for president.
The eventual GOP nominee slammed Baier after that interview for what he described as a "hostile" line of questioning over issues like his handling of classified documents and statements about the integrity of the 2020 election.
The president more recently praised an interview Baier conducted with then-Vice President Kamala Harris last fall just days before her election loss to Trump, calling him "tough but fair" in the way he questioned Harris.
A sitting president granting an interview to the network broadcasting the Super Bowl has become an unofficial tradition in recent years, though President Biden skipped the pregame chat the last two years of his presidency. Trump snubbed a pregame conversation with NBC in 2018.
This year's Super Bowl is expected to net Fox Sports tens of millions of viewers around the world tuning in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Rapper Kendrick Lamar will perform at halftime.
The network said the interview with Trump would air during the 3 p.m. EST hour of Sunday's pregame.
