Bret Baier Previews New Bipartisan Senate Debate Series, Which Aims to 'Dive into Topics a Little More Fully'

Fox News Channel's Bret Baier hopes a new debate series inspired by the bipartisanship of Sens. Orrin Hatch and Ted Kennedy will "bring people with different ideological backgrounds and perspectives together."

The first debate in the three-part series is moderated by Baier, featuring Republican Lindsey Graham and Democrat Bernie Sanders. It airs Monday at 12 p.m. ET. on Fox Nation, Fox News Media's streaming service.

Baier, 51, tells PEOPLE that the event aims to "bring back collegiality" when it comes to political discussion.
