Some of America’s leading conservative media outlets, such as the New York Post, foxnews and The Wall Street Journalare already beginning to turn their backs on former President Donald Trump (2017-2021) after the Republicans did not obtain the victory that many media predicted in Tuesday’s mid-term elections.
The different articles that have appeared in right-wing media, both liberal and conservative, thus show an increasingly clear distance between these media that are close to the Republican Party and the former president, at a time when everyone takes it for granted that he intends to run for re-election.
The conservative newspaper new york post (owned by tycoon Rupert Murdock) publishes this Thursday on its cover a caricature of the tycoon with a huge head, sitting on a wall, and says that Trump ‘sabotaged’ the election half-term by proposing the wrong Republican candidates.
In an opinion piece, the journalist John Podhoretz describes the former president as “toxic”: “What Tuesday night’s results suggest is that Trump is perhaps the most profound vote repellant in modern American history,” he writes in the newspaper that until recently served as Trump’s mouthpiece.

As to The Wall Street Journalconsidered a spokesman for the financial world, also points his finger at Trump as responsible for the red wave (the color of the Republicans) that was expected in these mid-term elections not taking place.
“Trump’s Republican candidates failed at the polls in states that were clearly ‘winnable.’ Perhaps these losses are what the party needs to hear before 2024,” the editorial board notes in an opinion piece titled “Trump is the biggest loser in the Republican Party”.
This line of argument is picked up even by the centrist Washington Postwho points out in an opinion piece that “the country said no” to a Republican Party “that offered rage and Trump”adding that “a substantial majority (58% according to Election Day polls of voters) do not like the former president.”
As Trump loses popularity, Florida’s re-elected Governor Ron DeSantis is gaining media favoritism, including on Fox News, Trump’s own favorite outlet for years: “Ron DeSantis is the new leader of the Republican Party”reads the headline of a Fox opinion piece, whose author Liz Peek he writes that “Republicans are ready to move on without Trump.”
