Rupert Murdoch exit may give Trump a Fox News 'reset,' Republican strategists say

Rupert Murdoch's departure as the chairman of Fox Corp and News Corp could provide an opportunity to mend the relationship between former President Donald Trump and Fox News as the 2024 election campaign heats up, said a former adviser to Trump and Republican strategists.

A mutually beneficial relationship between Trump and Fox News broke down after the 2020 election in the wake of the network's coverage of the election and the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol Hill riot by Trump supporters that left five dead and injured more than 140 police officers.

Fox chose in April to settle a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million over its amplification of Trump's false vote-rigging claims in the 2020 election, which legal experts said was the largest settlement ever struck by an American media company.

Rupert Murdoch's son, Lachlan Murdoch, will become the sole chairman of News Corp and continue as the chair and CEO of Fox, the companies said on Thursday, raising questions about how Fox's political coverage may change ahead of the 2024 Republican primaries and presidential election.

Fox News continues to be the number one U. S. cable news network, playing an influential role in U. S. politics. Republicans prize its conservative-leaning audience, but critics accuse it of bias and say it has made U. S. politics more toxic.

Trump is far and away the front-runner for the Republican nomination. If he is selected as the Republican nominee, he would face Biden in a November 2024 general election.

"This provides an opportunity for a reset between President Trump and the Fox News network," Republican strategist Ron Bonjean said of Lachlan Murdoch's appointment. "The question is: does Lachlan Murdoch want to have a positive relationship with former President Donald Trump? Or does he want to see how things play out?"
