The move comes as something of a shock considering the network’s critical coverage of her campaign.

Fox News will replay the Sanders-Clinton town hall show at 11 p.m. Monday.
There have been some grumblings about the Democratic party’s unwillingness to hold a full-fledged debate with Fox News. This will mark the first time Hillary Clinton has made an appearance on Fox News in two years.
“Clinton has been sensitive, supportive of the progressive agenda, she’s realistic in what she can get done, she’s able to beat the Republican candidate, and I think that Bernie Sanders would not be able to – or could lose – and I don’t wanna take that chance.” . It’s unclear what caused that change of heart, but considering Hillary Clinton now has the lead in the race for the Democratic nomination, she may well have been concerned that giving Bernie Sanders the entire stage in Detroit could jeopardize that.
Sanders, a Vermont senator, was most recently on “Fox News Sunday” with Chris Wallace in February.
Nevertheless, his base-broadening strategy is one reason why Sanders supporters argue that he is actually more electable than Clinton, despite not representing the Democratic mainstream.
“I think that Bernie Sanders is overpromising”, Simmons said on Friday. “He’s insensitive to the plight of black people.” . The Times reports that last month, when Baier approached Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz about letting the network put on another one this year, she laughed at the suggestion.

Baier had said Thursday that Clinton could not attend the event because of a “scheduling conflict”.
