As of March 12, 2025, Fox News has been involved in several notable developments:
Programming and Personnel Changes:
Lara Trump’s New Show: Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, launched a new program titled “My View with Lara Trump” on February 22. The show features in-depth interviews with prominent political figures, aiming to provide transparency and personal insights into the political landscape. Colleagues at Fox News welcomed her return with the message “welcome home.”
Brian Kilmeade’s Stance on Ukraine: Fox News host Brian Kilmeade publicly criticized President Donald Trump for his stance on Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia. Kilmeade emphasized Russia’s aggressive actions and the importance of supporting Ukraine to prevent further aggression in Eastern Europe.
Kat Timpf’s Health Update: Kat Timpf, co-host of “Gutfeld!” on Fox News, was diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer just 15 hours before giving birth to her first child. She announced the need for a double mastectomy during her maternity leave. Temporary replacement Kennedy Montgomery sent supportive messages, calling Timpf a “hero.”
Political Appointments and Controversies:
Kennedy Center Board Changes: President Donald Trump appointed Fox News personalities Maria Bartiromo and Laura Ingraham to the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees. This move is part of a broader overhaul aimed at restoring America’s “Golden Age.” The changes have led to cancellations and protests by various performers, including Issa Rae, Rhiannon Giddens, W. Kamau Bell, and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Speculation on Supreme Court Nomination: There is ongoing speculation about President Trump potentially nominating a Fox News personality, such as Pete Hegseth, for a position on the U.S. Supreme Court. While not highly probable, experts acknowledge that it’s within the realm of possibility given Trump’s unconventional approach to judicial nominations.
