A Fox News the panel paid tribute to this former first lady Michelle Obamas appearance as the “speech of the night” on day two of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Fox host Bret Baier said Barack Obamas speech showed why he was “such a star” for democratsbut that the former first lady “perhaps overshadowed” him.
Michelle Obama “gave a great speech that brought this crowd to its feet, to say do something in chorus after chorus.
“She had some tough shots at the former president [Donald Trump]but really [it] was a call to action for this Democratic Party to get behind this new ticket and say America is ready for a new chapter.”
Cohost Martha MacCallum agreed. “Absolutely Bret,” she said, suggesting Obama was making the link Kamala Harris‘ 2024 campaign with her husband’s own.
“She is an extraordinarily impressive woman,” said Brit Hume, the station’s chief political analyst. “I thought she was just amazing.”

Harold Ford Jr., another Fox News host, also said Michelle Obama’s speech was the pick of the night, noting what he thought were good lines, including: “No one has a monopoly on what it means to be an American.”
Baier and MacCallum also singled out Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhofffor praise.
Baier said, “It was really, really personal, really engaging. It showed Kamala Harris, the vice president, in a personal light that was funny, and kind of said, you know that laugh, you know that laugh, I love that laugh. , that take something obvious, some critics say is a vulnerability for her, making it an asset.”
“Yeah, he did a good job,” MacCallum noted.
It comes against the backdrop of Fox News, a conservative news channel, hoping to expand its audience to pro-democracy and independent audiences.
“I believe if you build it, they will come” Fox host Bret Baier told Axios yesterday. “And independents, Democrats are coming to our shows more and more.”
