Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was critical of Ingraham, who has been mostly supportive of him, after her 10 p.m. Monday show. The criticism is part of a longstanding series of claims Trump has made about Fox News, arguing that the network is attempting to bolster DeSantis over him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLaura Ingraham on FoxNews just did a hit piece on me (there go her ratings!) showing some polls which indicate that Ron DeSanctimonious may do better against Biden than I would, when actually polls show that I do MUCH better against Biden than \u2018Rob,\u2019\u201d Trump wrote, referring to DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe poll your looking at now, which has me doing far better against Crooked Joe, was just put out by FOX, I am sure unhappily,\u201d Trump also wrote, adding: \u201cI\u2019m also leading DeSanctus by over 40 points in Primary Voting. Watch Greg Kelly on Newsmax at 10:00 P.M.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Ingraham\u2019s segment, she interviewed Chris Bedford, the executive editor of Common Sense Society, about the 2024 election and whether Trump would perform better than DeSantis or another GOP candidate in swing state polls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe Biden is running pretty badly behind a generic Republican figure like a Ron DeSantis or Tim Scott,\u201d Bedford said on the show, referring to the South Carolina senator who launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/campaign-2024-an-early-look-at-the-possible-republican-contenders\/\" title=\"Campaign 2024: An Early Look At The Possible Republican Contenders\">presidential bid<\/a>. \u201cBut he\u2019s consistently beating Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former president\u2019s criticism of the network isn\u2019t new. Since the end of the 2020 election, Trump and Fox have had a falling-out after the channel called that year\u2019s presidential race in favor of then-candidate Joe Biden in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, on social media, has often called on viewers to stop watching Fox News and has accused the company\u2019s management of adopting \u201cRINO\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-senators-grill-biden-doj-pick-vanita-gupta-over-attacks-on-gop\/\" title=\"GOP senators grill Biden DOJ pick Vanita Gupta over attacks on GOP\">policy stances<\/a>, namely because former House Speaker Paul Ryan currently serves as a top Fox executive. RINO stands for Republican in name only.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with The Hill last year, Ingraham wouldn\u2019t directly answer a question about whether Republicans should back DeSantis or Trump. Ingraham said that the GOP should focus on populist messaging despite who the candidate is.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s critical comment comes after Fox News last <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-targets-foxs-laura-ingraham-over-hit-piece-on-his-poll-numbers\/\" title=\"Trump attacks Laura Ingraham for negative coverage of his poll numbers on Fox.\">month parted ways<\/a> with Tucker Carlson, its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/everything-you-missed-from-cable-news-experts-this-weekend\/\" title=\"Everything You Missed From Cable News \u2018Experts\u2019 This Weekend\">top-rated host<\/a>, just weeks after Carlson interviewed Trump for his show for the first time.

Ingraham&#8217;s segment focused on Trump&#8217;s poll numbers compared to potential 2024 presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump claims that Fox News is attempting to bolster DeSantis over him, despite polls showing that he performs better against President Biden than DeSantis does.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Criticism of Fox News<\/h3>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Trump has criticized Fox News. Since the end of the 2020 election, Trump and the network have had a falling-out after Fox News called the presidential race in favor of then-candidate Joe Biden in Arizona. Trump has called on viewers to stop watching Fox News and has accused the company&#8217;s management of adopting &#8220;RINO&#8221; policy stances, with former House Speaker Paul Ryan serving as a top Fox executive.<\/p>\n<h3>What Happened with Tucker Carlson?<\/h3>\n<p>Last month, Fox News parted ways with its top-rated host Tucker Carlson, just weeks after Carlson interviewed Trump for his show for the first time. Few details about why Carlson left have been released so far. In March, Carlson aired yet-to-be-seen footage of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach and asserted that the new footage largely disproves the Democrat-boosted narrative that the incident was a &#8220;violent insurrection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s critical comment about Fox News and Ingraham is just the latest in a series of disagreements between the former president and the network.
