President Donald Trump seethed on Sunday over Fox News giving air time to Democrats in the lead-up to the consequential midterm elections.

“FoxNews is spending far too much time putting on the OPPONENTS of Republican Party Candidates, people that love our Country, and have Great Policies and Ideas,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “These American Patriots are being absolutely ‘blurred out’ by the Media, and Fox is doing little to help. That’s the only reason this Race is close, if it is indeed close. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Trump’s complaint came just hours after Fox News host Larry Kudlow, who served in the first Trump administration, fawned over the president in a phone-in interview.

“I think you’re on a roll, OK?” Kudlow said. He added, “You’ve been relentless! Your campaigning, it’s Herculean. You’re turning the tide. You’re getting voters out. You’re raising enthusiasm. The economy is booming. We’re the hottest in the world. Stocks are doing great. Drug prices are coming down. Oil is flowing through the Persian Gulf. I mean, I think in the last month you may have turned this whole thing around!”

“I have worked very hard,” Trump said. “I’ve done 14 rallies in nine days and it’s a lot.”

In recent weeks, Fox News has interviewed Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed twice; Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) talking about El Sayed; Kentucky Senate candidate Charles Booker (D), who’s running for Sen. Mitch McConnell’s seat (R-KY); and Rob Sand (D), who’s running in Iowa’s gubernatorial race.

Last week, Trump complained that Fox News was promoting Democrats in a bid to be “politically correct.”

Trump has been criss-crossing the country to stump for vulnerable Republicans as the future of the House and Senate hang in the balance. He rallied in six different states over the past week alone, and was expected to return to Michigan on Sunday where El-Sayed was narrowly leading Mike Rogers (R).
