President Donald Trump publicly denounced Fox News for failing to broadcast his Saturday rally in Ohio, posting a comment on Truth Social the following day as part of a broader effort to energize Republican voters before the midterm elections.
The president has been traveling to multiple states, including Alabama and Texas, to rally supporters, with his Texas appearance coinciding with efforts to boost Senate candidate Ken Paxton, who trails Democrat James Talarico in recent polls. Trump also criticized Fox for hosting left‑leaning Democratic commentators such as Abdul El‑Sayed and Jessica Tarlov, and lamented the network’s recent removal of Maria Bartiromo, a known supporter of his. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, speaking on Fox News, said he tries to disregard Trump’s frequent praise and the president’s criticism of other justices, emphasizing his focus on the work of the Court.
