Fox News cut him off to protect their audience from seeing that the emperor has no clothes on. It's far from the first time they've done it.

Replicators being unusable because of power shortages was an early plot point in Voyager, and there are things that can't just be replicated since they often had to trade with friendly civilisations that they encountered.
Of course, the real answer is that they went with whatever rules suited the plot at the time, consistency be damned.
Good night Springden, there will be no encores.
"It's alright when I do it" is a core pillar of conservative ideology, so it's fine.
And give the death penalty to sex offenders, and classify pornography as a sex offense. See where this is going?
The article doesn't even mention the best part, that Fox News realised what was going on and removed the stock ticker soon afterwards.
There was a policy document called "Fightback!" published by the Australian Liberal Party (who were in opposition at the time) ahead of the 1993 federal election. The Labor government was behind in the polls, but they ran a massive scare campaign about the deeply unpopular policies in Fightback and managed to win a historic 5th term with a slightly increased majority.
The lesson both major parties took from that election was to never release detailed policies in advance of an election, because you give your opponent time to attack every detail and put you on the defensive (and if you're defending, you're losing). Publishing Project 2025 before the election may well turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes they made, because it's given the Democrats the opportunity to get the news out about all the deeply unpopular things they want to do.
This is also a warning that even if Harris and the Democrats win this election Project 2025 isn't necessarily dead, and they may learn to hide it better next time. The majority of policies in Fightback did end up happening to some degree over the following 30 years.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
I am absolutely convinced that Trump's entire election strategy was to just coast to victory on "Biden old" and "I got shot". By the time of the republican convention he was confident that he had it in the bag and didn't need to keep trying, so when Biden dropped out it completely shattered his plan and he's got nothing to replace it. He does not have the cognitive ability to pivot against Harris/Walz and his ego is way too big to actually listen to his campaign strategists (if he even has any that aren't just yes men).
* this should not be interpreted as complacency. It is definitely not a sure thing that Harris will win
Considering their lead singer died 7 years ago I highly doubt it.
Thorpey says it's fully sick!
If it's a legitimate discontinuation the campaign has a way of shutting the whole thing down.
