Trump Attacks Fox News Amid Election Night Tensions

As midterm returns began to trickle in on Tuesday, Donald Trump unleashed a series of aggressive posts on Truth Social, targeting Fox News for its coverage and declining ratings. The former president accused the network of disloyalty while dismissing their polling data as the worst in the industry.

Trump’s frustration centered on what he labeled the network’s excessive coverage of the "Trump Deranged Dumocrats." In a pointed jab, he described a specific host as "dumb as a rock," claiming the channel’s 27% ratings drop stems directly from their antagonistic stance toward him. This outburst occurred just before an election night reception in the East Room, where White House officials had previously characterized the internal mood as cautiously optimistic.

Despite the president’s intensive rally schedule, where he urged supporters to treat his record as if he were on the ballot, polling indicators suggested a difficult path for Republicans. With control of Congress hanging in the balance, Trump signaled a combative approach to a potential divided government. In a conversation with CBS, he vowed to act as "Mr. Veto," pledging to block any Democratic-led legislation should the party secure a majority in either chamber.
