Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume said Monday that the recent “No Kings” rallies reveal how American politics remains centered around President Donald Trump.
Saturday’s string of anti-Trump “No Kings” protests united left-wing groups that have defended authoritarian regimes while accusing Trump of acting like one. During an appearance on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier,” Hume noted that while the demonstrations highlighted a deeper reality about modern political identity.
“If you looked at it, you might have thought it was a cross between the faculty lounge and the retirement home. But nonetheless, they’re all voters. They count. And the fact that they turned out tells you something. And what I think it tells you is just how our politics has turned out over the last eight or nine years,” Hume told host Bret Baier. “It is all about Trump. It is about resistance to Trump. And it is about support for Trump. Support prevailed in 2016. Resistance prevailed in 2020. And his support prevailed again in 2024. And it’s still going on.”
Hume said that this ongoing clash defines the nation’s political reality.
“Same battle. Same guy. You know, I’ve called in the political classes of our time. But he is the issue. Everything else is secondary. Everything. And that’s what these rallies suggest,” Hume added.
When asked about the rallies’ branding, Hume dismissed the “No Kings” label as “kind of ridiculous” and “absurd.”
