Former President Donald Trump is slamming Fox Business host Neil Cavuto after he said on his show that Mr. Trump lost the presidential debate.
“Neil Cavuto, Fox’s Lowest Rated Anchor, is one of the WORST on Television. I actually prefer the losers at CNN and MSDNC!” Mr. Trump wrote in Truth Social posts on Wednesday and Thursday.
On Mr. Cavuto’s Wednesday show, he said Mr. Trump “decisively lost.”
“He might have made very good presentations on where the economy was, but it was all over the map. This was the first occasion where it wasn’t just a close call, it was a lopsided one,” Mr. Cavuto said.
Mr. Trump says he won the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. But a CNN flash poll after the debate found that 63% of debate watchers said Ms. Harris did better, while 37% said Mr. Trump had a better performance.
On a Fox News voter panel, 12 people said Ms. Harris was the winner of the debate, while five said it was Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump has railed against debate host ABC News for a three-on-one “rigged deal,” saying the moderators were biased against him.
“A lot of people are very angry about it. You know, you have corrupt news organizations. You have a lot of bad people. It’s amazing,” Mr. Trump said during a call into “Fox & Friends” Wednesday.
