He has come at many famous people such as Megyn Kelly and Hillary Clinton (not including the debate).

Holt didn’t really get in the middle of Clinton and Trump’s mess, he just did what he was supposed to do. But at times he got off topic, getting too deep into the arguments, which he did get yelled at for that by both candidates.
