FOX News and the Trump Rallies

President Trump holds midterm rally in Syracuse, New York – October 9, 2026

Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life

One key dynamic that the polls are missing in these midterm elections is what they’ve missed several times before: the campaigning magic of President Donald J. Trump.

Which is why a new effort is underway to keep that magic from the voters.

Never have we seen the kind of passionate, tireless and effective campaigning the President does – not only when he ran three times for the office, but now to support his Party in the midterms.

And it’s likely to be precisely the factor that proves so much of the polling wrong again.

I’ve been at countless of these Trump rallies and watched countless others – and they are electrifying. Not only do they allow people to hear directly from the leader of the MAGA movement that has reshaped America and the world, but they allow people to experience the depth of passionate support there is for this man and, more importantly, for the agenda of freedom he represents.

After the President’s first term, a change occurred in the chants during these rallies, introducing something new in American presidential politics. The familiar “Four more years!” was accompanied increasingly by “We love you!”

It shows the X factor in these elections. President Trump connects with the people like nobody else. He thinks like them, talks like them, is fully transparent to them, fights for them in a totally selfless way, and they know it.

One of the key ways to motivate and educate ourselves and others this election season is to watch and share these rallies and speeches of President Trump.

He reminds us of the amazing accomplishments of his administration and of the plans for even more progress. And he does what is more important and effective in the 2026 midterms than ever: he paints the contrast between this historic record of Republican accomplishments and the destructive, downright crazy positions of today’s Democrat Party.

He does it with plain speech, humor, a dose of well-deserved sarcasm, and heartfelt love for America. And he leaves us with hope, urging us to take our country back via this year’s elections.

One of the reasons this can create a Republican victory in 2026 that defies the pattern of midterm elections is that the low propensity, Presidential-race-only voters can be brought out precisely by their love for President Trump urging them to vote again now.

It’s no secret that the Fake News media suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and it shows in their coverage of our president – and their unwillingness to broadcast his rallies or even report fairly about them.

This bias is counteracted by outlets like Newsmax, One America News, Real America’s Voice, Right Side Broadcasting, and many others.

Then there’s the FOX News Channel. It has obviously been changing, and many viewers have moved away from it in frustration.

And in the latest turn of events, last week rival CNN noted that FOX News has not broadcast the president’s recent campaign rallies.

As CNN noted, “This programming decision has huge political and cultural significance. FOX News, America’s most-watched cable channel, has been one of Trump’s top ways to reach voters for more than a decade.”

The president is not on the ballot but his policies are. It’s outrageous that his rallies are not being broadcast. These are major events for which he has to set aside considerable blocks of time and energy and which represent the core convictions of countless Americans, led by their President.

We have decided to challenge FOX News to reverse course and give the President’s rallies the robust coverage they deserve.

Priests for Life has launched a petition drive to let the decision makers at FOX News know how many Americans are unhappy with the decision they made. You can find the petition at ProLifePetition.com.

Voters have a right to hear from the President about the crucial choice they are about to make. And the rallies give them an excellent tool to educate their fellow voters.

For an outlet as large as FOX News, and with so many viewers who agree with the President, to stop airing these rallies is simply media malpractice. It’s time for us to say so.

Please sign on to our petition today.
