Trump made the remarks in posts on his Truth Social platform, pointing to interviews with Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and independent Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn, Anadolu Agency reported.
Fox News published an interview with El-Sayed on Monday in which the Democratic nominee discussed his proposal for Medicare for All and his position on campaign financing. The network also reported on his ties to Democratic donor George Soros and questioned him about his fundraising record.

Trump criticized the coverage, saying Fox News was spending more time featuring Democratic candidates than Republicans and arguing that the network was not giving sufficient exposure to his political allies.
“FoxNews is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA,” Trump wrote, adding that the network had “totally lost their way.”
He also questioned Fox News’ decision to conduct a long-form interview with Osborn, who is challenging Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska.
“Why are they doing this???” Trump wrote, arguing that opposition media outlets do not provide Republican candidates with similar exposure.
“The ‘other side’ doesn’t give our people any positive exposure or airtime,” he said.
Trump also complained that Fox News was not giving enough coverage to his political rallies, saying other media organizations were providing more attention to the events.
His criticism comes as Republicans and Democrats campaign ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections, with several Senate races drawing heightened national attention. Osborn is challenging Ricketts in Nebraska, while El-Sayed is competing against Republican candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan.
Trump has previously clashed with Fox News over its coverage, despite the network’s longstanding role as a major outlet for conservative and Republican audiences.
Fox News has continued to feature Republican candidates and figures alongside coverage of their Democratic opponents, including recent interviews and reports involving Rogers and other GOP candidates.
Trump said he viewed the network’s coverage as insufficiently supportive of Republicans and the MAGA movement as the midterm campaign enters its final weeks.
