After meeting roughly 1,500 people recently while promoting his book, Kilmeade said that by far, the number one question he heard was “will Trump run again.” Ainsley Earhardt put her co-host on the spot by asking if they wanted him to run, which caused Kilmeade to pause a moment before eventually providing a candid answer.

“Yeah,” he affirmed before providing a more nuanced answer, perhaps cautious of aggressive Mediaite headlines. “But I saw a lot of people say ‘yeah, but, he has got to tone it down. It can’t be the same way.’”

It’s not clear when, but at some point, Kilmeade seemed to stop quoting the 1,500 people he met at his book tour, the vast majority of which were presumably Fox News viewers. It appeared at the end of his spiel he was speaking for himself when he added, “I think the president’s got a get better. He has to learn from the last four years.”
