Fox News\u2019 liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov is once again in the hot seat after making a blatantly false claim about President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s historic 2024 election victory. During a recent episode of *The Five*, Tarlov suggested that Trump, despite a clear Electoral College win, failed to secure the popular vote\u2014a claim that was immediately debunked by fact-checkers and conservative viewers alike.<\/p>\n
Tarlov, who often serves as the lone liberal voice on the popular Fox News panel, attempted to downplay the significance of Trump\u2019s victory, saying, *\u201cTrump didn\u2019t cross fifty percent of the popular vote, so the majority of Americans didn\u2019t vote for him.\u201d* She added, *\u201cSenate Democrats performed really well\u2026 that does show that this norm coalition can\u2019t exist. It was that Trump had a special sauce at the top of the ticket for a lot of people.\u201d*<\/p>\n
Her comments quickly drew fire from conservatives who pointed out that Trump not only secured a decisive Electoral College victory but also clinched a majority in the popular vote. As of this article\u2019s publication, the Associated Press reported Trump leading with 50% of the popular vote compared to Kamala Harris\u2019 48.3%.<\/p>\n
Conservative voices online erupted in response, with many calling for Fox News to replace Tarlov as a co-host. A popular conservative X account, *Donald J. Trump News*, posted, *\u201cBreaking News: Jessica Tarlov says \u2018Trump never reached 50% of the popular vote, meaning the majority of Americans did not vote for him.\u2019 What\u2019s your message to her?\u201d* Responses poured in, ranging from, *\u201cGet rid of her, please,\u201d* to, *\u201cWhy is she even on Fox News?\u201d*<\/p>\n
One user delivered a scathing rebuttal: *\u201cTrump won all the key swing states, crushed Harris in the Electoral College, and proved the mainstream media, her campaign, and her donors completely wrong. Anyone paying attention to his massive rallies knew this was coming. Tarlov is grasping at straws.\u201d*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
