A Fox News commentator who fainted live on air is “feeling much better” and on the mend, according to a spokesperson for the network.
Camryn Kinsey, a right-wing political commentator and former staffer under Donald Trump’s presidential administration, fainted mid-conversation during Thursday’s episode of Fox News @ Night with host Jonathan Hunt.
A spokesperson for Fox News told Entertainment Weekly paramedics were called to the studio in the Los Angeles bureau and that Kinsey was promptly treated and cleared. “We are happy to hear she is now feeling much better and wish her a speedy recovery,” the spokesperson said.

Kinsey, a former external relations director in the presidential personnel office, was in the middle of lambasting former President Joe Biden’s comments about how sexism was to blame for Kamala Harris’ big upset during the 2024 presidential election before she collapsed to the floor.
“This is about incompetency,” Kinsey said. “It’s not about, uh, ideology.” Kinsey continued to stammer through her words before she collapsed. A shocked Hunt said, “Oh my goodness. We’re just going to get some help here for Camryn.” Flustered, Hunt attempted to move on with the segment before ultimately deciding to segue into a commercial break.

In their first joint interview since leaving office, Biden appeared on Thursday morning’s episode of The View alongside wife Jill Biden and discussed the current administration, the former president conceded that he “wasn’t surprised” by his former vice president’s loss in the presidential race against Trump. “Not because I didn’t think the vice president was qualified to be president,” he clarified. “She is, she’s qualified to be president of the United States of America.”
“I was surprised because they went the sexist route,” Biden added, noting that he was “very disappointed” by the results. “‘This is a woman,’ she’s this, she’s that, really, I’ve never seen as successful and consistent [of a] campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldn’t lead the country — and a woman of mixed race.” He said that he was, however, surprised by “the success to which [Republicans have] gone in some of the attacks they’ve made.”
