Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump, predicted his father would "do awesome" at Thursday's debate with President Joe Biden on CNN.
On Sunday, Eric Trump spent most of his interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo complaining that CNN was biased against his father.
"Make no mistake, this is still CNN, right?" Eric Trump said. "This is Jake Tapper. Jake Tapper has compared my father to Hitler before, right?"
"I saw them as I walked into a courtroom every day where they're sitting there with grins on their face," he recalled. "I mean, just ear-to-ear smiles, right? So understand that he's not just gonna be debating Joe Biden. He's gonna be debating CNN."
Eric Trump said previous debates on CNN included "attack after attack" on his father.
"And you better believe that Biden's gonna be getting a lot of, you know, a free pass, and, you know, you better believe that they're, you know, gonna hit my father," he insisted.
Bartiromo suggested "CNN rules" would prevent debate hosts from asking Biden questions about "influence peddling."
However, Eric Trump ultimately expected the presumptive Republican presidential nominee to "do awesome" at the debate.
"He's got the right message," he asserted. "He's got the love of America behind him, and he's gonna do, he's gonna do awesome."
"He always does. He's gonna do great," he added.
