The Democratic National Committee is keeping Fox News off the presidential primary debate calendar, but Democrats in the House of Representatives -- now in the majority and eager to showcase their ideas -- are trying to boost their presence on the channel.
House Democratic leaders are actively encouraging members of their caucus to appear on Fox News, viewing the network as an opportunity to spread their policy goals to a wider audience, especially in Republican-leaning districts that Democrats need to maintain to keep their majority.
Cuomo: Trump acts like Fox News cheated on him 03:13This question continues to be hotly debated in Democratic circles because Fox's talk shows are avowedly conservative. Some staunch progressives say Fox should be shunned altogether. But others say that's poor strategy.Rep. Debbie Dingell, a co-chair of the DPCC and a Democrat from Michigan, said Democrats should be talking to"everybody.
Trump phones his Fox friends, slams his Fox critics 01:58"It's a network where there's people in the middle and people who aren't as far right as some of us think, and so I think there's an audience there that wants to hear about what the Democrats are working on in Congress," she said."I think they're interested in knowing, and I think that we should make efforts to go on.
Bernie Sanders scoffs at Fox News' question 02:33Some of the 2020 contenders agree. That's why Sen. Bernie Sanders took part in a town hall with Fox News last month that got strong ratings. Up next is Amy Klobuchar, who will field questions at a town hall on Fox this Wednesday. Pete Buttigieg and Kirsten Gillibrand are also on board for town halls later in the spring.Fox has been courting the Democratic candidates for several reasons. For one thing, it's good TV.

Do t make me have to watch Fox😩
Let them fracture themselves. It'll only make great entertainment. They spent years calling Fox Fake news and now that Fox is getting big only NOW do they rethink it. Hell, I'm the salty type and tell any Democrat Rep to kick rocks.Especially the ones calling Fox fake news.
The President should go on cnn and ms13nbc. And Democrats should go on foxnews. Both sides should not only have 'home games'.
FoxNews the most trusted news network!!
Naturally
Doesn’t matter cause during 16 every democratic debate talked more about Trump than any democrat
Good for them. Smart move. I don’t agree too much with Bernie, but I thought he made some valid points when he was on FOX. And it takes some chutzpah to go on a Network, where one is not that popular.
Is this the same DNC that lost to this moron in the first place? Let’s watch some game film and rethink strategy
They should go on but not with talking heads. With the few journalists they do have. Like Chris Wallace and maybe Bret Baier.
FOX News is state TV when a Republican is POTUS and CNN and MSNBC are state TV when a Democrat is POTUS, not sure why some of you idiots dont get this yet 😋
great.
The DNC isn’t known for Strategic thinking....we need to win over some moderates and anti Trump conservatives...so let’s totally alienate them by refusing to show ourselves.
