In making the announcement, Jay Wallace said, “We are pleased to
welcome Sen. Gillibrand to our lineup, further establishing FOX
News as a vital destination for 2020 candidates. We look forward to
Chris delivering a dynamic and substantive discussion from the
influential state of Iowa to our millions of viewers.”
The forthcoming event with Gillibrand will mark the fifth
presidential town hall of the current election season hosted by FNC
and the fourth with a Democratic presidential candidate. In April,
Special Report’s Bret Baier and The Story’s Martha MacCallum
co-moderated a town hall with 2020 candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders
which garnered nearly 2.6 million viewers, making it the
highest-rated event of the election cycle, according to Nielsen
Media Research. Additionally, the network will present two
separate town halls with 2020 presidential candidates Sen. Amy
Klobuchar (D-MN) on May 8th in Milwaukee, WI and Mayor Pete
Buttigieg on May 19th in Claremont, NH.
Over the course of his career, Wallace has participated in
coverage of nearly every major political event and has played an
integral role in the network’s 2016, 2012, 2008 and 2004 election
coverage. In October 2016, Wallace became the first journalist from
FOX News to moderate a general election presidential debate, which
took place at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He was
recognized by both sides of the political aisle for his tough
questioning of then-presidential candidates Donald Trump and
Hillary Clinton.
As anchor of FOX News Sunday, Wallace joined the network in 2003
and is based in Washington, D.C. In 2014, he marked his 50th year
in broadcasting. Wallace has secured several high-profile
interviews with dignitaries and U.S leaders including: a
widely praised sit-down with Russian President Vladimir Putin at
the Helsinki Summit in 2018; an exclusive interview with
French President Emmanuel Macron; the first interview
with President Donald Trump after he was elected in
2016; an interview with then-Democratic presidential
nominee Hillary Clinton, and an exclusive interview with
then-President Barack Obama in 2016.
