Rupert Murdoch’s plans for his media empire include ‘dumping’ Donald Trump: journalist
.
On November 9, the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post published a cover story headlined “DeFuture,” which celebrated far-right Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ landslide reelection victory and hailed him as the future of the Republican Party. It remains to be seen whether or not DeSantis will run for president in 2024, but Murdoch is obviously hoping that he will.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump announced, on November 15, that he plans to seek the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. But the 91-year-old Murdoch, according to The Guardian, is making it clear that he won’t be endorsing the former president as he vies for the Oval Office once again.
The Guardian’s Mark Sweney reports, “Rupert Murdoch has reportedly warned Donald Trump his media empire will not back any attempt to return to the White House, as former supporters turn to the youthful Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. After the Republican Party’s disappointing performance in the U.S. midterm elections, in particular the poor showing by candidates backed by Trump, Murdoch’s right-wing media empire appears to be seeking a clean break from the former president’s damaged reputation and perceived waning political power.”
