Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov stated in interviews with The New Yorker that she wishes Donald Trump had won the 2020 presidential election. Tarlov suggested that a Trump victory might have prevented the current political climate and argued that without the impact of COVID-19, Trump likely would have secured re-election.

Tarlov expressed concern regarding the influence gained by conservative advisors and initiatives like Project 2025 over the last four years. She compared Trump’s growing influence to the Disney villain Ursula and criticized the Democratic Party for failing to produce concise, winning ideas compared to conservative messaging.

Furthermore, Tarlov shared that she is “mostly in tears” when reading social media attacks from Donald Trump, specifically noting that threats regarding her employment at Fox News are particularly distressing.
