Trump Blasts Fox News for Prioritizing Democrats Over GOP

Donald Trump unleashed a scathing tirade against Fox News on Monday morning, blasting the channel for allegedly defending Democrats more than it champions Republican causes. This explosive outburst arrives just as he heads to Wichita for a crucial campaign rally supporting GOP Senator Roger Marshall in his tight race before the November 3 midterms. 'Fox spends more time defending Dumocrats,' Trump declared on Truth Social, claiming they air their views over Republican opponents with unprecedented frequency. He called it ridiculous and accused the network of trying too hard to be politically correct.

This latest salvo follows a barrage of attacks launched in less than three weeks against the media outlet that once served as MAGA's primary home base. The trouble started on September 30 when Trump demanded answers for why Fox covered Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Jessica Tarlov while ignoring Republican perspectives. He raged about Fox & Friends skipping his packed Ohio rally in Vandalia, insisting they spend too much time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats without offering a single rebuttal. By October 6 he was branding Nebraska independent Dan Osborn a sleazebag and criticizing Martha MacCallum for being soft on Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed because she never interviewed him like that.

He went further by stating Fox is promoting Democrats instead of Republicans or MAGA supporters, noting they have totally lost their way. The Daily Mail reached out to Fox for comment regarding these escalating tensions. These public feuds come right after new polling from the network itself showed Trump at a second-term low of 36 percent approval with sixty-four percent of voters disapproving his performance. Democrats currently hold a nine-point lead heading into the election.

Republicans face heavy losses expected in the House while their Senate majority hangs by a thread. Election forecaster Nate Silver's latest model predicts a seventy-five percent chance for Democrats to capture the upper chamber, requiring just a net gain of four seats to take control. One of those high-stakes Senate battles is Marshall's seat in Kansas, adding extra pressure on both sides as the party fights to hold ground.

He is neck and neck with Democrat Adam Hamilton, an Overland Park pastor. Kansas has not sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1932, but the Cook Political Report moved the race to a toss-up earlier this month. Trump has rallied behind Marshall, calling him 'great, a wonderful person, given a 'bum rap' because he was mandated by Law to request money owed from patients,' in a Truth Social post last week. Martha MacCallum hosts 'The Story With Martha MacCallum' at Fox News Channel Studios on October 5. US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed visits 'The Story With Martha MacCallum' at Fox News Channel Studios on October 5. Marshall, an OB-GYN who practiced in Great Bend for two decades before entering Congress, sued more than 700 of his patients over unpaid medical bills, the New York Times revealed last month. The senator has dismissed the report as a Democrat-planted hit job, insisting only 'a very small, small, small fraction of the unpaid bills even went to collections.' Trump's Fox tirade comes as Republicans brace for potentially catastrophic losses next month, with GOP strategists and leaders already pointing fingers at each other, and even at the president. House Republicans are blaming the Senate. Senators are privately pointing at Trump. And vulnerable candidates are lashing out at their own party committees. 'If it happens, there will be plenty of blame to go around,' New Jersey Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew warned of the impending losses, per Politico. A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos survey released Sunday put Trump's approval even lower than Fox's, at 33 percent of US adults, with 66 percent disapproving and 52 percent strongly disapproving. The finger-pointing follows a string of alarming internal polls that reportedly show Republicans in danger not only in traditional battlegrounds, but in once-safe red districts. Particularly infuriating for House members is the Senate map, where Republicans have been forced to dump eye-watering sums into races they never expected to defend.

Texas Republicans have dumped nearly $200 million into an effort to save Ken Paxton from defeat. He faces Democrat James Talarico in a fight that many did not expect to be this close. Donald Trump has already picked out who will take the fall if Paxton loses his seat. On Truth Social on Thursday, he wrote that any loss would stem from weak and ineffective Political Hacks like John Cornyn and Karl Rove.

One national GOP operative raged at Politico. He said all the money meant for the House is now being wasted on the Senate because they messed up so badly. But some Republicans argue the real trouble lies in the White House. Retiring Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon told Politico that Trump's poor polling numbers and high unfavorable ratings are dragging down GOP candidates. Others privately blame his tariffs and the Iran war for sparking anger over rising costs.

Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna has directed her fire at the National Republican Congressional Committee. She accuses party leaders of getting distracted by internal leadership jockeying on social media. I am also getting calls from members wondering what is going on at the @NRCC, she wrote. Sounds to me like some in leadership need to focus on winning races instead of gaming their next steak donor dinner, she added.

Louisiana Senator John Kennedy mocked National Republican Senatorial Committee consultants last month. He told reporters he trusts his own reading of the polls over strategists because all they care about is buying Porsches. Kennedy also said he plans to spend $5 million to $8 million from his own campaign war chest in states he sees as crucial to holding the Senate.

Trump allies are now warning candidates that attacking Democrats may no longer be enough. They urge them to hammer a positive economic message on how they will lower living costs. NRSC chairman Tim Scott remains defiant, telling reporters on a press call earlier this month that he expects his party to hold its Senate majority and possibly expand it.
