Donald Trump cannot count on catching a break from Fox News during the 2024 campaign.
Trump found out he is going to have to defeat the media and his opponents if he hopes to win a second term.
And that’s because Fox News just took one giant step to try and defeat Donald Trump in 2024.
Polls show Donald Trump is the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination.
The GOP establishment is desperate to stop Trump so they can go back to the days of Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell and George Bush running the party where the GOP supported open borders, amnesty, Wall Street bailouts, foreign wars and surrendered in every fight against Democrats.
Part of the establishment’s plan to stop Trump centers on the GOP presidential primary debates.
Millions of Americans will watch the debates and establishment Republicans believe they are setting a trap to humiliate Trump and derail his momentum.
Fox News will host the first primary debate which will take place in August in Milwaukee.
The establishment-aligned 501(c)(3) Young Americans for Freedom and Rumble will partner with Fox for the debate.
Subsequent debates will be held by other networks partnered with conservative media outlets.
POLITICO reports:
On Wednesday, the committee announced that Fox News would host the first event, which is slated to be held in Milwaukee in August…
…Those familiar with the debate process say they expect television outlets to be paired with conservative online platforms as debate co-hosts. For the inaugural debate, viewers will be able to tune in on the conservative streaming platform Rumble. The event will also be co-hosted by Young America’s Foundation, an organization overseen by former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
On the surface this looks like an improvement over past debates where Democrat activists like George Stephanopoulos moderated debates and set up GOP candidates with “gotcha” questions.
However, Fox News is partnering with a group linked to former Vice President Mike Pence.
For the record, @TPUSA wouldn’t even do something like this because it’s pretty clearly a violation of 501c3 code to host a partisan primary debate. YAF doesn’t operate a clear political arm, but if they did it would go to support Mike Pence because they pay him a lot of money https://t.co/9Py9SqOkX8

In addition Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch informed Trump after the midterm elections that Murdoch — and by extension his media empire of Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post — would not support Trump’s re-election campaign.
“We have been clear with Donald. There have been conversations between them during which Rupert made it clear to Donald that we cannot back another run for the White House,” a senior News Corp. source revealed to the New York Post.
The RNC is also planning to have CNN host multiple debates where the network will partner with other Never Trump outlets to bombard Trump with questions designed to make him look bad and provide openings for the other candidates to pile on Trump.
The GOP establishment never accepted the fact that Donald Trump won the 2016 election because voters rejected the Democrat-lite agenda of RINOS like Romney, McConnell, Cheney and Paul Ryan.
And now the party establishment is taking steps to try and make sure history does not repeat itself in 2024.
