Trump Claims Fox News Election Coverage Favoring Dems

President Donald Trump is complaining Fox News is giving Democratic candidates too much airtime in the weeks leading up to the midterm elections.
“FoxNews is spending far too much time putting on the OPPONENTS of Republican Party Candidates, people that love our Country, and have Great Policies and Ideas,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday. “These American Patriots are being absolutely ‘blurred out’ by the Media, and Fox is doing little to help. That’s the only reason this Race is close, if it is indeed close. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
This complaint followed Fox News host Larry Kudlow lauding the president in a phone-in interview.
Kudlow served in the first Trump administration.
“I think you’re on a roll, OK?” Kudlow said. He added, “You’ve been relentless! Your campaigning, it’s Herculean. You’re turning the tide. You’re getting voters out. You’re raising enthusiasm. The economy is booming. We’re the hottest in the world. Stocks are doing great. Drug prices are coming down. Oil is flowing through the Persian Gulf. I mean, I think in the last month you may have turned this whole thing around!”
“I have worked very hard,” Trump responded. “I’ve done 14 rallies in nine days and it’s a lot.”
In recent weeks, Fox News has interviewed Michigan Senate Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed twice; Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) talking about El-Sayed; Kentucky Senate candidate Charles Booker (D), who’s running for Sen. Mitch McConnell’s seat (R-Ky.); and Rob Sand (D), who’s running in Iowa’s gubernatorial race.
Trump complained last week that Fox News was promoting Democrats in an effort to be “politically correct.”
Trump rallied in six different states over the past week, and was expected to return to Michigan on Sunday where El-Sayed was narrowly leading Mike Rogers (R).
