Camryn Kinsey, the Fox News guest who fainted during a live broadcast this week, is updating her people on her well-being.
On May 8, the political commentator fainted and slipped out of her chair during Fox News @ Night while she was discussing Joe Biden’s recent comments on Kamala Harris’ loss in the 2024 presidential election.
The 24-year-old — who previously served as the external relations director in the White House’s presidential personnel office for Donald Trump, per her LinkedIn — revealed on X on May 9 that she was “sorry for the scare.”
“I want to start by thanking the incredible Fox News team and the EMTs who responded with such speed and care,” Kinsey wrote. “It was an unexpected and frightening moment, but thanks to their professionalism and kindness, I’m doing well.”
“To everyone who has called, texted, prayed, or checked in, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support has meant the world,” she continued.
As for how she’s doing, Kinsey wrote she’s “taking it slow, staying hydrated, letting my body rest, and thanking the Lord that everything is okay.”

“It may not have been how I planned to end the segment, but I’ll be back on your TV soon,” the political commentator wrote. “Hopefully long enough to finally finish my point about Kamala!”
On Friday, a Fox News spokesperson shared in a statement with PEOPLE that Kinsey indeed “fainted” during the broadcast at the company’s Los Angeles bureau. After paramedics arrived, she was “treated and cleared.”
“We are happy to hear she is now feeling much better and wish her a speedy recovery,” the spokesperson said at the time.
Before Kinsey’s social media update, footage of her health scare circulated on social media this week, showing her fall to the ground from a chair. “This is about incompetency, it’s not about uh, uh, ideology,” she said before fainting.
“Oh my goodness,” host Jonathan Hunt said as he reacted to the moment, while crews rushed in. “We’re just going to get some help here for Camryn.”
Hunt then took the show to commercial, later reassuring viewers that Kinsey had regained consciousness and that he wished her “all the best.”
Kinsey, who has a background in national security, has also previously worked as a reporter and White House correspondent for the Trump-aligned One America News Network.
