The Trump campaign immediately objected to the call, and Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, got in touch with Rupert Murdoch, whose family controls Fox News’s parent company, according to people familiar with the exchange.

Mishkin has been an analyst on Fox’s decision desk since 1998 and started running it ten years later, in 2008. Mishkin, for his part, has not backed down, and has made several appearances on Fox News to defend the call. And, you know, we stand by the Arizona decision.
