Overview
- Trump, in a Truth Social post Wednesday, accused Fox News of promoting Democrat Tom Steyer and urged voters to back Republican Steve Hilton.
- He used insults for Steyer and argued Republicans cannot win California because of mail voting and what he called rigged elections, repeating familiar claims.
- Fox had interviewed Hilton minutes earlier, while its Steyer references focused on his fundraising, polling, and immigration platform, according to Mediaite.
- Steyer released a sweeping immigration plan Tuesday that would abolish ICE and reverse Trump-era enforcement rules, giving networks new policy content to discuss.
- California’s top-two system advances the highest two vote-getters regardless of party, so media exposure and endorsements can shape the November lineup as the field adjusts after Eric Swalwell exited and resigned.
