Bret Baier Pushes Back When Trump Calls Into Fox News and Blames Network for Election Results

President Trump largely attributed the "blue tsunami" landslide won by Democrats during Tuesday's elections to Fox News polls, expressing his grievances about them repeatedly on social media throughout the night. However, when confronted directly with the topic on-air by Fox News correspondent Bret Baier, Trump pushed back. Democrats secured control of both the House and the Senate, winning key battleground states and delivering a significant rebuke to Trump's policies.

Shortly after it was clear that the Senate would flip to Democrats—an uncertainty that existed at the outset of the night—Trump took to Truth Social to accuse Fox News of responsibility for the losses. He claimed that the network constantly and consistently highlighted the Democratic opposition and made the situation worse. Trump also expressed frustration over Fox News polls, stating, "I read at Fox that I'm not popular.

You know, I mean, the Fox polls are terrible. You ought to get yourself a good pollster because your pollster is the worst."

In response to these claims, Baier immediately pushed back, pointing out that the results were actually quite close to what the Fox polls had shown. Trump, however, remained unmoved, insisting that he didn't care about the poll results and that it didn't matter. In a separate post on Truth Social, the president declared that Fox News polls were "always the worst" and "so insulting with the questions they ask," alleging that every question was a "hit job" and every answer was "BULLS–T!"
