Brit Hume Rips Kamala Harris As ‘Single Weakest Presidential Candidate’ He ‘Can Remember’

Brit Hume said on a Tuesday podcast that he does not believe former Vice President Kamala Harris has a shot at becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee again.

Harris secured the 2024 nomination in August with virtually no primary voter approval after former President Joe Biden dropped out on July 21 and endorsed her. When host Mark Halperin asked Hume on “Next Up with Mark Halperin” whether Harris was a viable candidate for the nomination again, Hume said she lacked political strength and substance.

“It’s hard for me to imagine they do that again. It’s just hard for me to imagine that,” Hume said. “I think she was the single weakest presidential candidate I can remember … Look, there’s no there there.”

Halperin quipped that Hume’s comment might prompt “thank-you notes” from previous failed presidential candidates John Kerry and Mitt Romney.

“Still, I hold to that judgment,” Hume doubled down.

Halperin responded that Hume’s take was not “outrageous.”

“Her supporters would say she was thrown into it, and I say, well, if you didn’t think you could win in 90 days, you shouldn’t have put your hand up for the nomination,” the host added. “Wasn’t like a surprise what the calendar said.”
