Veteran television personality Geraldo Rivera says he's quitting Fox News Channel's political combat show “The Five.”.
FILE - Geraldo Rivera attends The Hollywood Reporter's annual Most Powerful People in Media issue celebration on May 17, 2022, in New York. Rivera says he's quitting as one of the lonely liberal voices on Fox News Channel's political combat show The Five. Rivera, who turns 80 next month, said that a growing tension on the show made it no longer worth it.
Rivera said that it was his choice to leave “The Five,” but that Fox management “didn’t race after me to say, ‘Geraldo, please come back.’” There was no immediate comment from Fox. Rivera said he planned to remain as a “correspondent at large” at Fox, with a contract that expires in January 2025. Rivera, once a friend of Donald Trump who split with him over the former president's false claims of winning the 2020 election, said that “under no circumstances do I think Donald Trump should be president of the United States again and that's an important message I am committed to bringing to the American people between now and November 2024.”
The argument over electric vehicles illustrated the challenge faced the liberal voice on “The Five.” As he talked, onscreen chyrons below him read “Biden pushing pricey electric cars on Americans” and “Americans not buying Biden's EV hype.”
