As Donald Trump weighs his White House chances for 2024, there’s one race where, at least in his own mind, he’s already running: the “Fox News primary.”
The current power of conservative media isn’t lost on Trump either, and the president remains sore over the Drudge Report. “He didn’t like losing Drudge,” says a source who’s spoken to Trump recently about the Fox News primary. “He wants to keep as many in line as possible, but he’s also convinced that the ones that drift away from him can always come back.”
Trump’s obsession with Fox News’ treatment of him was a hallmark of his administration, as well as his 2016 presidential blitz. “When he would do, for instance, Fox News shows, he would always ask [his executive assistant] Rhona Graff to ask the Fox host or staff if they could send him the exact ratings data of his interview or hit that he had just done,” Sam Nunberg, a former political adviser to Trump,in 2020. “Sometimes he’d just ask them himself.
Over the span of his presidency, the network became a loyal propaganda machine with a direct line to the executive. They were forced, alongside the president, to reckon with an unexpected loss in the 2020 election.
