Donald Trump says Fox News ratings are "not because of me, but because they are AGAINST me!"

During the final hours of Tuesday’s nationwide midterm voting, former president Donald Trump used his Truth Social platform to criticize the conservative television network Fox News, claiming its audience numbers were falling because the outlet opposed him. He posted several messages, including one that described a Fox host as unintelligent and dismissed a network poll as poor. The comments came as early results showed Democrats holding an early lead in both chambers, with key races such as the Georgia Senate and the Georgia governorship being decided. Trump’s outburst highlights the political tension between the former president and media outlets covering the elections, and it occurred while the outcomes were set to determine control of Congress for the remainder of his term.
