President Donald Trump reacts to Fox News’ surprise announcement that Maria Bartiromo is no longer with the network. Late Thursday, Trump posts on Truth Social that he is shocked by the change and says Bartiromo’s “many” fans “will not be happy.” He praises her as a professional and references her past success on Fox News and Fox Business programming.
Fox News Media confirms Bartiromo’s departure, saying it has parted ways with the longtime anchor effective Thursday, September 3. Across the coverage, outlets note Fox News does not disclose a specific reason for the split. Newsweek adds that Bartiromo says she was not fired, framing the exit as an abrupt departure rather than a dismissal. Other outlets focus more on Trump’s reaction and his claim that her audience will react negatively to the move.
