Fox News has committed to a plan to “beam Trump in” by playing clips of him throughout the Republican presidential debate and having the candidates respond, the Daily Beast reports.
Said Bret Baier, the debate’s co-moderator: “He’ll be there, even if he’s not there.”
“The move partly satisfies the network’s need for an active, lively debate with the frontrunner somehow involved, as well as its post-2020 core operating principle to ‘respect the audience’—in particular, the MAGA base that craves all things Trump. But it would also satisfy Fox’s desire to effectively counter-program the Carlson interview.”
