The 2020 elections proved a major threat, as viewers abandoned the network and huge lawsuits threatened its coffers, but now Trump is bringing Fox talent back.
Leading the list are Pete Hegseth, a former frequent Fox presence who is nominated for secretary of defense, and Sean Duffy, nominated to lead the Department of Transportation.
This staffing strategy looks a lot like that of the first Trump administration where Fox was closely intertwined with the White House, enabling a powerful media-political synergy.
The mostly synergistic relationship faltered in November 2020 when Fox became the first network to forecast that Joe Biden had won Arizona, infuriating the Trump camp.
