Carly Fiorina and Fox News just dropped a house on Donald Trump

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

You know it’s a bad sign for an incumbent Republican president when multiple Republican presidential candidates from four years ago are now crossing party lines to endorse the other guy. Actually we don’t quite know just how bad of a sign this is, because it’s never happened before. Yet here we are.

Carly Fiorina, a Republican who ran for president in 2016, went on Fox News this morning and endorsed Joe Biden. Here’s what stands out as remarkable. Fox had to know Fiorina was going to do this (she’d been publicly siding with Biden for awhile), yet they booked her anyway.

It’s becoming clear that for all its nonsensical and dishonest pro-Trump rhetoric, Fox News is now trying to prepare its audience for a post-Trump future. Of course Carly Fiorina’s endorsement of Joe Biden comes after 2016 Republican presidential candidate John Kasich did the same last month.
