Fox’s Brit Hume Lays Out BRUTAL Reason Trump Is Struggling Against Harris: Most Americans Don’t Like Him

Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume said former President Donald Trump could very well win the 2024 election but predicted it would be close because Trump is disliked by a majority of the electorate.

Hume joined a Fox News Sunday panel following an interview between host Shannon Bream and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) to discuss the state of the race with fewer than three months until Election Day.

Bream noted Vance had told her that Republicans had a winning message but she also cited network polling that showed 65 percent of voters are not satisfied with the direction of the country. She asked Hume why Trump was statistically tied with Vice President Kamala Harris despite the fact so many voters are displeased with the state of the country.

“Because he’s Trump,” Hume said. “When you get down to it, the past eight to TEN years have been about Donald Trump. Everything has been about Donald Trump. I don’t think that the Democrats would have let Joe Biden get as far as he did if it wasn’t – if the party hadn’t been confident that the Republicans were going to nominate Donald Trump again, which the Republicans did.”

Hume concluded Trump’s issue is he is disliked by more than half of voters.

Hume said:

The fact that Biden was doing even as well as he did until the very end, is a testament to the fact that Donald Trump has a very hard, solid base of support, but it never gets above about 40 to 45 percent, maybe a little more at best. So, his weakness is the predicate for our politics going back now three elections.

He was able to surmount Hillary Clinton, a uniquely unpopular opponent, but he couldn’t beat Biden, and you know you look at the losses in the midterms – or the disappointing results in the midterms. It’s all about one thing, it’s about that. Donald Trump, no matter how enthusiastic supporters are, nonetheless, is not a majority candidate. He might win, but he’s not a majority candidate.

Bream noted that Trump is routinely advised by many capable people and asked Karl Rove why he the former president is struggling in recent polling despite having an edge on the economy with voters. Rove replied:

Well, first of all, he does listen to a lot of people, but the first he listens to is the inner voice, and we see it in these rallies, which are a particularly undisciplined form of communications. Look, think about it, two-thirds of the American people think we’re going in the wrong direction.

He leads on the issue of who’s better on the economy, who’s better on inflation, who’s better on migration. That’s all all good numbers for him. and yet this race today he’s behind and why is he behind? Because he is making this race about things other than the three big issues in this campaign – the economy, inflation, and immigration.

Rove concluded Trump is “fundamentally undisciplined.”
