Obama to make first 'Fox News Sunday' appearance

President Obama will make his first appearance on Fox News Sunday as president, while the 2016 race for the White house will dominate the other talk shows.

Obama wants to press Republicans to support his Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland. The Republican-led Senate is refusing to hold confirmation hearings considering Garland, nominated to fill the vacancy created by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and other GOP leaders say the vacancy should be filled by the next president. Obama believes Garland should get a hearing and an up-or-down vote this year.

The show’s host, Chris Wallace, taped the interview Thursday and predicted the president will make bigger news with his comments about Hillary Clinton’s emails. The Federal Bureau of Investigation may be close to finishing its review of the private server Clinton maintained as the nation's top diplomat.

Presidential election politics will be the focus on the other shows, with Sen. Bernie Sanders hitting three different programs ahead of a critical contest in New York on April 19. Polls currently show him behind Hillary Clinton, who will also appear, in addition to Republican presidential candidate John Kasich.

Here's the full lineup:

• CBS' Face the Nation: Kasich, Sanders

• NBC's Meet the Press: Sanders

• CNN's State of the Union: Sanders; Clinton

• Fox News Sunday: Obama

• ABC's This Week: Sanders
