Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch says that former president Donald Trump needs to move on from claims that he actually won the 2020 election so that conservatives can focus on future policy.
The media magnate, 90, made the suggestion on Wednesday during an annual shareholders' meeting for News Corp, which oversees the Wall Street Journal, The Sun and the book publisher HarperCollins.
Murdoch also owns Fox News, a channel that has supported Trump and his claims, through the Fox Corporation.

Rupert doesn’t want voter integrity strengthened.
No surprise.
James Murdoch’s wife Kathryn tweets ‘we did it!!!!’ and shares anti-Trump posts after Biden’s win - days after agreeing with CNN’s Jake Tapper that Fox News should disavow Trump’s election fraud claims
I’ve come to believe that the true existential threat to our Republic is vote fraud.
Think of all of the major problems and threats that have sprung up or significantly worsened since January: border invasion, currency debasement (inflation), drug overdoses, supply shortages, loss of energy independence, collapse of our credibility of the world stage, the arming of terrorists with billions of dollars of our hi-tech equipment, the attack on our civil liberties and the weaponization of the DOJ. All of these have come about as a result of the successful hijacking of our representative democracy by a Democrat organized criminal conspiracy that stole the election in key swing states.
We must redouble our efforts to point out the damage done by these thieves and stop the fraud from every happening again.
Absolutely nothing wrong with focusing on stopping fraud in the 2022 and 2024 elections. But the talk about overturning/reversing/decertifying/whatever the 2020 is pointless. It's red meat for the hard core Trump supporters, and eye-rolling for the "everyone else" that Trump or whomever needs to win over the GOP in future elections.
The focus has to be on winning moving forward, and talk of fraud has to be made in that context. So, "Here's some fraud that occurred in Wisconsin, and here's how we can stop that from happening again" is great.
Here's the fraud that happened in Wisconsin, it also happened elsewhere, and I really should still be President" is utterly and completely pointless. Counterproductive, actually.
Actually, that’s pretty good advice.
Donald is now the number one political kingmaker.
And dumb Dems bright idea to rig 2020 has caused a huge red wave now flooding the country w/ elected Repubs.
I just hope Bidung remains cogent long enough to know what a sap he is.
Murdoch was a collaborator in The Fraud.
Now he’s in a panic since things didn’t go as planned.
Rupert and Joe sitting in tree.
K.I.S.S.I.N.G.
And MurdochIdiot and company are the one’s that actually believe that #notmypresident got 81 million votes too.
GFTO and STFU yourselves.....!
Yep, Murdoch knows that every time the right is reminded of 2020, we are also reminded of how Murdoch and Fox stabbed us (and Trump) in the back. That’s really why he wants Trump to “move on”.
I don’t entirely disagree.
What Trump should do is to highlight the YUUUGE differences between his policies and their effectiveness, vs. those of the Biden Handler Administration. He should constantly talk about how much worse things are - in terms of economics (with strong emphasis on gas prices), the stifling effects of onerous regulations, our multiple foreign policy disasters, and the constant demeaning of both American values and ordinary, hard-working Americans. Do those things, and state that we will be returning to pro-capitalism, pro-American policies that don’t treat ordinary citizens (like mothers in school board meetings) like terrorists.
Oh, and he needs to state that just like in 2021, the 2022 and 2024 and all subsequent elections will have a vast army of Republican poll watchers present, to avoid any possible future “mistakes” (and he should knowingly air quote that word). In this way, he never mentions The Steal, but still clearly speaks of the effects that it has had on the country, yet still keeps the base motivated to vote despite past cheating.
hey Rupert!!!
you can’t win 2024 if you don’t fix 2020...
(he can’t be that stupid can he?)
Hey Rupert!
You and your collaborators can’t Steal 2024 if MAGA supporters fix 2020.
Not one day since he came down that escalator has his name not been mentioned anywhere you look. It's truly fascinating the hold he has. Publicly it's time for him to look to the future of winning back house and senate.
yeah.. that whole being framed by the libs for colluding with the Russians.. yeah.. you just need to forget that and move on! I mean.. yeah people are now being arrested for their lies about you, and no one in the liberal press has retracted anything, but.. you know.. its time to move on!
If it wasn't for Trump and his supporters, do you think that would be happening?
Winning back the Senate for China McTurtle or Cloture Weasel Cornesty? Trump needs to purge the RINOs first.
Yes. Conservatives is what I wrote.
The same people who cried “Russian collusion!” and “Resist!” for four years tell us to “get over” 2020.
