Former White House official and political commentator Camryn Kinsey said she will be returning to Fox News this week after collapsing live on air during an appearance on the network on Thursday night.
"You think about it, you're like, 'Do I wanna go back on TV?'" Kinsey said to the New York Post.
"But knowing that I have so many people in my corner, who are genuinely concerned for my well-being and want to see me keep going…that's anything that I could ever want."
Newsweek has contacted Kinsey for comment via messages on social media.

Kinsey had been on Fox News @ Night to comment on former President Joe Biden's recent media appearances.
"So this is about incompetency, it's not about uh, uh, ideology or uh, it's not about," she said, before falling from her seat.
"We're just going to get some help her for Camryn," Jonathan Hunt, the show's host, said before trying to hand the show to another presenter.
What To Know
Kinsey told the Post that she had never fainted before and the episode was likely due to "severe dehydration."
She said her shoulder broke her fall so "there's no concussion or bruising."
Kinsey was the external relations director at the presidential personnel office from August 2020 until President Donald Trump's first term ended in January 2021, according to her LinkedIn account.
"Only in Trump's America could I go from working in a gym to working in the White House, because that's the American dream," she said in an interview with The Conservateur website. "President Trump takes chances on hiring young people to deliver innovative ideas and policy prescriptions."
She later worked at the conservative One America News Network before setting up her own public relations company last year.
What People Are Saying
Camryn Kinsey thanked the Fox News team and EMTs for responding quickly in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday morning, writing: "It was an unexpected and frightening moment, but thanks to their professionalism and kindness, I'm doing well."
She added: "I'm 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. Hopefully long enough to finally finish my point about Kamala!"
Fox News said in a statement provided to Newsweek on Thursday: "After Fox News @ Night guest Camryn Kinsey fainted during a live on-air appearance last night in our Los Angeles bureau, paramedics were called and she was treated and cleared. We are happy to hear she is now feeling much better and wish her a speedy recovery."
What's Next
Kinsey said she is set to return to Fox News @ Night next week.

GOP lawmakers stick with Trump in messy Musk breakup
Amid the messy ongoing divorce between the president and the world's richest man, this much is already clear: Donald Trump has sole custody of the House GOP. Republican lawmakers are making clear that, if forced to choose, it's Trump — not Elon Musk — they're sticking by as leaders race to contain the fallout for their 'one big, beautiful bill.' Even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who helms a House panel inspired by Musk's Department of Government Efficiency initiative, blasted Musk's public attacks on Trump as 'unwarranted' and criticized his 'lashing out on the internet.' 'America voted for Donald Trump on Nov. 4, 2024 — every single vote mattered just as much as the other,' Greene said in a brief interview. 'And whether it was $1 that was donated or hundreds of millions of dollars, the way I see it, everybody's the same.' Like many Americans, GOP members watched Thursday's online exchange with a sense of car-crash-like fascination. Many shared that they hoped Musk and Trump could somehow patch things up. But many — including some of the former DOGE chief's biggest backers on Capitol Hill — were wholly unsurprised to see the billionaire suddenly cut down to size after months of chatter about who was really calling the shots at the White House. 'It's President Trump, not President Musk,' said one lawmaker granted anonymity to speak frankly about prevailing opinions inside the House GOP. Speaker Mike Johnson made no secret of where he stands on the public breakup. He told reporters Friday that he hoped the two men 'reconcile' and that it would be 'good for the party and the country if all this worked out.' But in the nearly same breath, Johnson quickly reaffirmed his allegiance to the president and issued a warning to Musk. 'Do not doubt, do not second-guess and don't ever challenge the president of the United States, Donald Trump,' Johnson said. 'He is the leader of the party. He is the most consequential political figure of this generation and probably the modern era. And he's doing an excellent job for the people.' Other House Republicans concurred with the speaker's assessment Friday, even as they faced the looming threat of Musk targeting them in the upcoming midterms or at least pulling back on his political giving after pouring more than $250 million into the 2024 election on behalf of Trump and the GOP ticket. 'I think it's unfortunate,' said Rep. Tim Moore (R-N.C.) of the breakup. 'But Donald Trump was elected by a majority of the American people.' Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio, who was one of only two Republicans to oppose Trump's megabill in the House last month, also made clear he stood with the president over Musk. 'He does not have a flight mode — he's fight, fight, fight … and he's been pretty measured,' Davidson said of Trump. 'I think Elon Musk looked a little out of control. And hopefully he gets back and grounded.' GOP leaders who have spent weeks cajoling their members to vote for the sprawling domestic-policy bill hardly hid their feelings as Musk continued to bash the legislation online, even calling on Americans to call their representatives in an effort to tank it. 'Frankly, it's united Republicans even more to go and defend the great things that are in this bill — and once it's passed and signed into law by August, September, you're going to see this economy turning around like nothing we've ever seen,' Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in a brief interview Friday. 'I'll be waiting for all those people who said the opposite to admit that they were wrong,' Scalise added. 'But I'm not expecting that to happen.' A few Republicans are still trying to walk a fine line by embracing both Trump and Musk — especially some fiscal hawks who believe Musk is right about the megabill adding trillions to the national debt. 'I think Elon has some valid points about the bill, concerns that myself and a handful of others were working to address up until the passage of it,' Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) said in an interview. 'I think that'll make the bill stronger. I think it'll help our standing with the American people.' Both Trump and Musk 'have paid a tremendous price personally for this country,' Cloud added. 'And them working together is certainly far better for the country.' Notably, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, a key Musk ally on the Hill, declined to engage Thursday when asked about the burgeoning feud. Instead, the Ohio Republican responded by praising the megabill Musk had moved to tank. Democrats, for their part, watched the unfolding and public breakup with surprise and a heavy dose of schadenfreude. 'There are no good guys in a fight like this,' Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.). 'You just eat some popcorn and watch the show.'

Rescue Dog Was So Scared, She Couldn't Leave Crate—Now She's Unrecognizable
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A rescue dog too afraid to leave her kennel finally turned a corner with her foster family. When TikTok user @kierstenlynnb first rescued a white pit bull named Snow, the dog refused to leave her kennel. Kiersten, the foster mom, shared in the first part of her June 2 video Snow's reluctance to receive any attention. Snow cowered in the back, avoiding eye contact when Kiersten tried reaching her hand out. Snow's nervousness is understandable, after all, as she was abandoned and tied to a pole in Houston, Texas, Kiersten told Newsweek via TikTok. Kiersten received a call about Snow and went to rescue her. From there, she welcomed her into her home with open arms and patience, as Snow learned to trust again. Snow went from not wanting to leave the safety of her crate to understanding she's capable of being loved. Kiersten said it took about three to four weeks for Snow to finally come out of her kennel. Her new spot: the bed. The second part of the clip shows Snow happily lounging in the foster mom's bed. Her tail kept wagging. She went from being afraid of leaving the kennel to being afraid of leaving the comfort of the bed, a night-and-day transformation. The caption on the video reads: "Round of applause for Snows transformation."

She runs an independent rescue organization, where Snow is available for adoption. "It's so rewarding," she said. "The transformations are my favorite." Viewer Reactions With over 92,500 views as of Friday, TikTok viewers felt relieved to know that this dog is no longer suffering, and that she's relearning what it means to be loved. People flooded the comment section with their praise for saving her. "How can anyone hurt something so beautiful? Thank you for giving her a loving home," wrote one user, while another echoed: "...thank you for giving her the chance to know how she should be treated." A third person commented: "The 1st video is hurtful. She's avoiding eye contact and looks nervous. Thank you so much for showing her what love and caring hands are." Someone else said: "She's like, 'Please don't take me back to that bad, scary place. Sweet girl. Thank you for saving her."
