Fox’s Brit Hume Declares ‘Trump Had a Bad Night’ Debating Harris: ‘She Baited Him Successfully’

Fox’s Brit Hume had blunt commentary following Tuesday’s presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump : “Trump had a bad night.”

Hume was the first guest to provide commentary during Fox News’s post-game analysis of the ABC News debate, and he told Fox anchors Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier that Trump’s showing fell short:

Hume: Well, I thought the single question that needed to be answered tonight was “Madam Vice President, why have you changed your views?” Give us your thoughts on why you changed position, not just on the handful, the small handful of issues that were raised by the moderators, but on a range of other issues. There were like two questions on the whole thing all evening. She never had to account for her changes. Never.

Baier: She said she’d go down the list. She never really–

Hume: They never did. Now, look, make no mistake about it: Trump had a bad night. He rose to the bait repeatedly when she baited him, something I’m sure his advisers had begged him not to do. You know, in the first debate when Biden attacked him, he just kept his cool and kept going. And in this debate, he rose to debating. And we heard so many of the old grievances that we’d long thought that Trump had learned were not winners politically. And there they all were, you know, talking about how he didn’t lose the election and all that, I mean… So, my sense is that she came out of this in pretty good shape. How long this will last is anybody’s guess. But for tonight, at least, this was pretty much her night.

Baier: You’re saying she had a good night?

Hume: I’m saying she certainly did.

Hume also told Baier that Harris “baited [Trump] successfully”:
