Fox News is replacing one opinionated business anchor with another, assigning Larry Kudlow to anchor “Sunday Morning Futures” on an interim basis following its ouster of longtime staffer Maria Bartiromo.
\n\nKudlow will host the 10 a.m. program starting Sunday, and continue through the weekend after the midterm elections on November 8. Fox News Channel says a new host will be named at a later date.
\n\nKudlow, a longtime CNBC personality who joined Fox Business Network in 2021 following a stint in the first Trump administration, held several top Wall Street jobs and advised politicians ranging from President Ronald Regan to former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman on the economy from behind the scenes. On CNBC, he often held forth with another longtime host, former hedge fund manager Jim Cramer.
\n\nKudlow will take the reins of a program that was built around Bartiromo, who aimed to bring market perspective to politics, but became known for giving conservative lawmakers and officials free rein to speak their piece without being challenged overmuch on the facts. Bartiromo has not been seen on any Fox News properties since August 9, when she did what became her final broadcast of Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria.”
