Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume hailed President Joe Biden as “really good-natured” during day two of the Democratic National Convention.
Biden stepped aside as the presumptive nominee last month to make way for Vice President Kamala Harris, who was nominated at the convention on Tuesday night, where Fox News broadcast from.
“The energy’s up,” Hume said of the convention while appearing on Jesse Watters Primetime. He then noted the unusually long evening the night before, as Biden’s speech got pushed beyond primetime hours.
“And I think the program will move along more swiftly than they did last night, which was kind of a fiasco in the way that it turned out. They got so far behind. They couldn’t recover. They didn’t want to eliminate any abortion speakers to make room… for their president.”
“Do you think that they did that to Joe Biden on purpose?” Jesse Watters asked. “His team thinks that it wasn’t incompetence. It’s a conspiracy to screw him.”
“I don’t think so,” Hume replied, adding that Biden endeared himself to Democrats by beating former President Donald Trump in 2020.
“And the other thing about Joe is, over the years – I’ve known him a long time,” Hume continued. “I’ve never been a big fan of his necessarily. He’s a pretty– he’s a really good-natured guy. A lot of people have a lot of personal affection for him. And that persists. So, I think they were dying to give him a big sendoff, but they blew it.”
