Trump’s private fury at Fox News explodes into public as he turns on MAGA network after Republicans knife president in vicious blame game ahead of midterms

Donald Trump has launched a furious broadside at Fox News and accused the network of ‘spending more time defending Democrats’ than broadcasting Republican views.

Trump launched the blistering attack on Monday morning as he prepared for a rescue mission to Wichita, where he will hold a campaign rally for endangered GOP senator Roger Marshall ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.

‘Fox spends more time defending Dumocrats, and putting on their views versus their Republican opponent, than at any time in the history of Fox News. It’s ridiculous!’ Trump wrote on Truth Social.

‘Fox News is trying too hard to be politically correct! Watch my big Kansas Rally today on RSBN [Right Side Broadcast Network]. Great early coverage!’

It is the latest in a string of attacks in less than three weeks on the network that has long served as MAGA’s home turf.

The latest run began on September 30, when Trump demanded to know why Fox puts Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov ‘and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me.’

Days later he raged that Fox & Friends had ignored his ‘packed house’ rally in Vandalia, Ohio, complaining that the network ‘spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats, often without rebuttal.’

He was back at it on October 6, branding Nebraska independent Senate candidate Dan Osborn a ‘sleazebag’ and accusing Martha MacCallum of going soft on Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed: ‘She never interviews me like that.’

‘Fox is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA,’ he wrote. ‘They have totally lost their way!’

The Daily Mail has contacted Fox for comment. 

Trump’s attacks come after Fox’s own polling last week put his approval rating at a second-term low of 36 percent, with 64 percent of voters disapproving of his performance. Democrats also held a nine-point lead over Republicans ahead of the midterms.

The GOP is widely expected to lose control of the House, while their Senate majority is also under serious threat.

Election forecaster Nate Silver’s latest model gives Democrats a 75 percent chance of capturing the upper chamber, where they need a net gain of four seats to take control.

One of the Senate seats in peril is Marshall’s in Kansas. He is neck and neck with Democrat Adam Hamilton, an Overland Park pastor.

Kansas has not sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1932, but the Cook Political Report moved the race to a toss-up earlier this month.

Trump has rallied behind Marshall, calling him ‘great, a wonderful person, given a ‘bum rap’ because he was mandated by Law to request money owed from patients,’ in a Truth Social post last week.

Marshall, an OB-GYN who practiced in Great Bend for two decades before entering Congress, sued more than 700 of his patients over unpaid medical bills, the New York Times revealed last month.

The senator has dismissed the report as a Democrat-planted hit job, insisting only ‘a very small, small, small fraction of the unpaid bills even went to collections.’

Trump’s Fox tirade comes as Republicans brace for potentially catastrophic losses next month, with GOP strategists and leaders already pointing fingers at each other, and even at the president.

House Republicans are blaming the Senate. Senators are privately pointing at Trump. And vulnerable candidates are lashing out at their own party committees.

‘If it happens, there will be plenty of blame to go around,’ New Jersey Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew warned of the impending losses, per Politico.

A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos survey released Sunday put Trump’s approval even lower than Fox’s, at 33 percent of US adults, with 66 percent disapproving and 52 percent strongly disapproving.

The finger-pointing follows a string of alarming internal polls that reportedly show Republicans in danger not only in traditional battlegrounds, but in once-safe red districts.

Particularly infuriating for House members is the Senate map, where Republicans have been forced to dump eye-watering sums into races they never expected to defend.

The leading Senate GOP super PAC and Trump’s MAGA Inc. have spent nearly $200 million trying to rescue Ken Paxton in Texas, where he is locked in an unexpectedly tight battle against Democrat James Talarico.

Trump has already decided who will take the blame if Paxton falls.

‘If Ken Paxton loses, it will be because of weak and ineffective Political Hacks like John Cornyn and Karl Rove,’ he wrote on Truth Social on Thursday.

‘All of this money that was expected to go to the House, for the most part, is now being wasted on the Senate because they f****d up so bad,’ one national GOP operative fumed, per Politico.

But some Republicans believe the real problem sits in the White House.

Retiring Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon told Politico that Trump’s weak polling and high unfavorable ratings are dragging down GOP candidates, while others privately blame his tariffs and the Iran war for anger over rising costs.

Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna has turned her fire on the National Republican Congressional Committee, accusing party leaders of getting distracted by internal leadership jockeying.

‘I am also getting calls from members wondering what is going on at the @NRCC,’ Luna wrote on social media.

‘Sounds to me like some in leadership need to focus on winning races instead of gaming their next steak donor dinner,’ she added.

Louisiana Senator John Kennedy has mocked National Republican Senatorial Committee consultants, telling reporters last month he trusts his own reading of the polls over strategists because all they care about is ‘buying Porsches.’

Kennedy also said he plans to spend $5 million to $8 million from his own campaign war chest in states he sees as crucial to holding the Senate.

Trump allies are now warning candidates that attacking Democrats may no longer be enough, urging them to hammer a positive economic message on how they will lower living costs.

NRSC chairman Tim Scott remains defiant, telling reporters on a press call earlier this month that he expects his party to hold its Senate majority and possibly expand it.

Cook Political Report analysis published last month projects Democrats will pick up at least 15 House seats and between one and five in the Senate.
