Fox News interrupted a live stream of Donald Trump’s rally in Iowa to correct his statements about the 2020 election, asserting that it was not rigged or stolen.
The interruption came after Fox’s settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, which filed a defamation lawsuit against the network.
“The 2020 election was not rigged. It was not stolen,” Fox anchor Arthel Neville said. (Trending: Elon Musk Condemns Arrest Of Jan 6 Protester)

“But still, Trump is way ahead in the polls.”
Meanwhile, political consultant Dr. Louis Perron suggests that while Trump has a good chance of defeating President Joe Biden in the upcoming election, he is not a shoo-in due to his own flaws and his need to focus on defining a second term.
Perron emphasized the importance of keeping the focus on Biden and presenting a clear vision for a second Trump term, particularly in terms of economic policy.
“Elections with an incumbent are foremost a referendum on the incumbent,” Perron said.
“As two-thirds of Americans think that their country is headed in the wrong direction and more than half of voters tell pollsters that they disapprove of the job President Joe Biden is doing, the 2024 election is the Republicans’ to lose.”
Perron warns “candidates not to rely solely on the weaknesses, failures, and even scandals of an incumbent government. They are often not enough to bring down an incumbent government.”
“Voting for a challenger is like moving houses. Yes, you’re unhappy with the place you currently live, but you want to know what the new house will look like.”
“Their likely nominee, Donald Trump, is as disliked as Joe Biden, and worse, he’s not a new commodity as challengers otherwise often are.”
“Most people have made up their minds about him, and it’s much more difficult to change public opinion than to define it in the first place,” he wrote.
“I always tell my clients that the best and only starting point for effective campaign planning is brutal honesty. The reality is that being out on bail in four jurisdictions, Donald Trump is a deeply flawed general election candidate.”
“For any challenger, the first imperative is, therefore, to keep the focus on the incumbent and lock him in. Voters are unhappy with the status quo, which means Donald Trump and Republicans now need to make the case on why this is Joe Biden’s fault. Don’t let them get away with it the way Barack Obama and his team avoided blame for economic dissatisfaction in 2012 and skillfully passed it on to George W. Bush.”
“The second imperative is to describe what the new house, a second Trump term, would look like.”
“Voters used to credit Trump with economic competence, so there is something to work with. During the first three years of Donald Trump in the White House, the U.S. economy did remarkably well. Republicans should take this record as a basis to actively renew and update their credibility on the economy. There has to be more in store to get out and vote for than the usual hackneyed claims of lower taxes and less bureaucracy,” he wrote.
