On July 25, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held a town hall on Fox News with Sean Hannity. If it seems odd that a Democratic candidate for president was speaking to the Trump-invested Fox News audience, it was. Hannity asked Kennedy, “You’re talking to the American people tonight.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Jesse Watters, the wisecracking conservative who got his start with man-on-the-street interview segments for Fox News opinion host Bill O’Reilly’s 8 p.m. program, is about to enjoy a homecoming of sorts.

Trace Gallagher’s late-night news program, “Fox News @ Night,” will follow Gutfeld at 11 p.m., an hour earlier than its previous midnight slot.

Randy Rainbow creatively announced his 2023-2024 stand-up tour through a song selling why he would make a great presidential candidate, and he also told Ron DeSantis to “go get bent.”When asked what distinguishes him from other candidates, Rainbow broke into song.“I have always been just useless when it comes to many things like legislation, deficits and stocks,” he began. “But if you’d like a sassy head of state who also sings, the next time you’re electing one perhaps you’ll check my box.”“If all hope is gone or every day’s a big ol’ yawn then at election time, gurl, this is what you do,” he continued.

It was contentious yet cordial. Both parties were assertive but didn’t shout (well, maybe a little). Yes, there was some talking over each other as California Gov. Gavin Newsom sat down with Sean Hannity for an interview on Fox News’ Hannity, but it was almost a respite from the daily yelling heads on cable news.

Gavin Newsom didn’t back down from Sean Hannity’s fiery questioning about the homeless crisis in California – including its relative size compared with de facto rival Florida – saying “we own” the numbers and blaming the cost of housing and “localism.”“The state has not made progress in the last two decades as it relates to homeless,” the California governor said flatly at the top of an excerpt provided by Fox News, which you can watch below.

Sean Hannity, who was hosting the town hall Thursday night, served up the incident as the first topic of the long Q & A session.“I want to start with the current president … did you see the video of when he fell?” Hannity began, diverging from a longstanding journalistic tradition of leading with the most important and relevant information.But Trump failed – at least by his own standards – to capitalize on the opportunity to trash and smear opponent.

2024 presidential election poll “horrible news” for President Joe Biden, as it found 66% of surveyed Americans say a Biden victory would either be a disaster or a setback for the country. “When it comes to how voters see Joe Biden and another presidential term, I mean those are some bad numbers,” Tapper said.The poll, released Thursday and conducted last week, found that 41% of Americans believed it would be a “disaster” if Biden were re-elected next fall, while 26% said it would be a “setback.” Watch the full video above (video via Tom Elliott on Twitter).The poll also found that while Biden would still likely receive the vast majority of Democratic votes in 2024, his overall approval rating sat at just 35% – with popularity declining among Democrats and independents recently. “Views of Biden are sharply more negative than are views of each of the three living Democratic past presidents,” the poll wrote.“That’s a big warning sign,” CNN Political Director David Chalian told Tapper of Biden’s dropoff among independents. Current approval numbers are nearly identical to that of his likely opponent Donald Trump, according to the poll. “It’s worse for Biden, but for both of them, most of the American people think electing them would be a disaster or a setback for both Joe Biden and Donald Trump,” Tapper summarized. “It is not an election the American people want,” Chalian replied.“What a country,” Tapper concluded.Following what many deemed a disastrous town hall featuring Trump earlier this month on CNN, Fox News has lined up another town hall with the former president moderated by show host Sean Hannity.

South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, whose town hall will be moderated Jake Tapper and will air June 4 at 8 p.m. ET, and former Vice President Mike Pence, whose Dana Bash-moderated event will debut on the network on Wednesday, June 7 at 9 p.m.
