Fox News cuts live broadcast of Trump's midterm rallies
CNN reported that on 8 October Fox News largely stopped broadcasting President Donald Trump's midterm campaign rallies live, marking a notable shift in the network's coverage strategy. The change follows weeks of tension between Trump and the network. Salon.
com noted that on 2 October the president accused Fox News of ignoring his rallies, which had drawn smaller crowds, while the White House continued to limit access for certain media outlets. The Daily Beast reported that Trump later posted on Truth Social alleging that Fox favored Democratic Senate candidates in Michigan and Nebraska, and he disputed media reports of low attendance, insisting his events were well attended despite polls showing his approval at a historic low. CNN also recorded Trump saying his rallies were energizing the Republican Party even as several GOP candidates in competitive races chose not to attend his events.
