Is Chris Wallace a Republican or Democrat?
Wallace is a Democrat.
In 2006, the Washington Post reported that he had been registered as a Democrat for over two decades.
He said that his “party affiliation is purely pragmatic and based on his desire to participate in local elections.”
Although Fox News is a Republican channel, Wallace has been a Democrat for more than 20 years[/caption]“The reason I’m a registered Democrat is that in Washington, D.C., there is really only one party,” he continued. “If you want a say in who’s going to be the next mayor or councilman, you have to vote in the Democratic primary.”
“However I vote personally,” he added, “I think I’m professional enough that it doesn’t have anything to do with the way I cover the news.”
