Over the last four years, President Trump has relied on Fox News as a bastion of support and encouragement even as he occasionally faced tougher assessments from news-side anchors like Shepard Smith or Chris Wallace. Days after Joe Biden’s election victory, two of Trump’s Fox friends said he should run again in 2024. “Of course he should run in 2024,” Pete Hegseth said. “This is not the last you heard of President Trump,” declared Geraldo Rivera.
