 Fox NewsWith it almost certain that Fox News will not be hosting a presidential debate this year, the conservative cable giant surprisingly proposed a vice presidential debate on Friday that Donald Trump's campaign has already accepted.
Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier made the announcement during an appearance on Martha MacCallum's afternoon news program, calling it the "Wild West of debate proposals."

Laura Ingraham began by claiming the Biden campaign was in need of a "game changer," and they "hope they will get it with the help of" Tapper and Bash, two hard news anchors whose approach to broadcasting differs entirely from the Fox News model.
