No, Fox News didn't report Newsom wants to remove Trump's name from future ballots Fact check

The claim: Fox News reported California Gov. Newsom asked for bill to remove Trump’s name from future ballots
An Aug. 21 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) claims the leader of one of the country's most populous states is taking action in an attempt to prevent former President Donald Trump from being elected again.

Our rating: False

A spokesperson for Fox News said the network did not publish any such report, and Newsom’s office also said the claim is false. Newsom has said he had a strong relationship with Trump during the COVID-19 pandemic, and he has been criticized by other Democrats for praising the former president. A search of Fox News’ website and social media platforms did not show any such articles, and the outlet told USA TODAY the claim is false.

“This is fake – there is no validity to this claim,” said spokesperson Irena Briganti.
