Trump blames Fox News for Republican losses, blasts network for putting ‘Worst Mayor’ Bill de Blasio on air

In continuation of his displeasure with Fox News coverage of the US mid-term election, President Donald Trump again blasted it for featuring New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. “Why does FoxNews have Bill de Blasio, the Worst Mayor in the History of New York City, on air, ranting and raving like a Lunatic?” Trump lashed out on Truth Social. “He left the City in disgrace, and the damage he caused was incalculable — It has never been the same, and now he's telling us how to run America.”

“FoxNews bears responsibility for these losses by constantly and consistently putting on the ‘Dumocrat’ opposition, and worse. GOD BLESS AMERICA,” Trump added.

Earlier, the 80-year-old President also criticized Fox News over its declining ratings.



“FoxNews Ratings are way down (27%!) because they're spending too much time covering the Trump Deranged ‘Dumocrats’!” Trump wrote Tuesday on Truth Social. "It's them, not me — My numbers are better than they have ever been.”

Fox News, which was long viewed as his favorite media outlet, averaged about 1.1 million viewers across the total broadcast day in October, down 27% from the same month in 2025, according to Rusty Surette, who cited Nielsen data. Among adults aged 25–54, the viewership became the lowest in 25 years, coming down to 32%.


After multiple media outlets including CNN projected a Democratic swap in multiple US states, he said Republicans would have won by a landslide if he had been on the ballot.

“I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.
