Fox News faces post-midterm choice between Trump, DeSantis – By Dominick Mastrangelo (The Hill) / Nov 12, 2022
Top talent on Fox News and leading figures in conservative media more generally have a choice to make in the coming months: Who would be the best Republican to support in a potential clash for the 2024 GOP nomination for president — former President Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis?
Trump is expected to announce a third run for president on Tuesday, while DeSantis this week delivered Republicans one of the most sweeping statewide victories in Florida in recent memory.
During his time in the White House, Trump could count on Fox and its top hosts for near constant coverage and partisan approval.
But there have been signs of a shift away from Trump at Fox for months, and the network’s praise of DeSantis leading up to and following his dominating reelection victory has raised questions about who it might throw its weight behind in 2024.
