Political commentator Camryn Kinsey, 24, sparked concern after fainting live on air during a “Fox News @ Night” segment on May 8. Kinsey, a former Trump administration staffer, was discussing President Joe Biden’s recent appearance on “The View,” where he attributed Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 election loss to sexism, when she struggled to speak, lost consciousness, and fell from her chair.

Host Jonathan Hunt, substituting for Trace Gallagher, reacted with surprise, exclaiming, “Oh my goodness,” before attempting to continue the segment with guest Lydia Moynihan. The broadcast quickly cut to a commercial break. Upon returning, Hunt reassured viewers, “Camryn is up and moving. Paramedics are checking her. We wish her all the best.” A Fox News spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE that Kinsey was treated and cleared by paramedics at the Los Angeles bureau, adding, “She is now feeling much better.”

The incident went viral, with clips circulating on X, where users expressed concern and sent recovery wishes. Some posts speculated about the authenticity of the faint, with one user noting, “It didn’t look typical for a real faint,” though no evidence supports such claims. Others criticized Hunt for not immediately assisting Kinsey, with comments like. “Why didn’t he check on her instead of continuing the segment?” Fox News has not responded to these criticisms.

Kinsey, who served as external relations director in the Trump White House from August 2020 to January 2021, runs Titan Media Strategies and previously worked as a White House correspondent for One America News Network. Hours before the incident, she posted on X about the election of Pope Leo XIV, showing no signs of distress. While the cause of her fainting remains undisclosed. The absence of reported health issues suggests it may have been a temporary episode. Possibly due to stress or dehydration, though this is speculative.

Kinsey was addressing Biden’s controversial claim on “The View” that sexist voters contributed to Harris’ defeat by President Donald Trump in 2024. Her collapse interrupted a broader debate about Biden’s post-presidency media engagements. Which have drawn scrutiny for his critical remarks about Trump’s first 100 days.

Viewers and colleagues, including Moynihan, expressed relief at Kinsey’s recovery. The incident has sparked discussions about the pressures of live political commentary, with some online commentators noting the intense mental strain of partisan debates. As Kinsey recovers, the focus remains on her well-being, with no further updates on her condition as of May 9.
