Trump blasts Fox News over midterm coverage, calls Jessica Tarlov ‘dumb as a rock’ and slams polls
WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump launched a series of attacks against Fox News on Tuesday, November 3, as Americans voted in the 2026 midterm elections.
He criticised the network's coverage, polling and ratings while singling out political commentator Jessica Tarlov.
Trump complained about Tarlov's voice in a Truth Social post before accusing Fox News of being politically biased against him and claiming its audience was declining.
His attacks came as polls indicated potential Republican losses in the House and Senate amid voter concerns over the cost of living and the war with Iran.

Trump's criticism began shortly before the first polling stations closed. He said he was watching Fox News' pre-election coverage but objected to Tarlov, a liberal commentator and co-host of 'The Five.'
"Watching the Pre-Election Results on FoxNews, but I can't stand Jessica Tarlov's voice, dumb as a rock, but it's the voice that gets me," he wrote. "Have to go somewhere else until that LOSER is off the air, I'll be back later!"
