November 21, 2023 · 1:59 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“When Donald Trump left the White House, Democrats didn’t want to hear another word from him. President Biden dismissed him as ‘the former guy.’ A party-wide consensus held that he was best left ignored,” the New York Times reports.

“Three years later, Mr. Biden’s re-election campaign and Democratic officials across the party’s spectrum have landed on a new solution to his political slump: More Trump.”

“Criticizing the news media for giving Mr. Trump a platform is out. Quietly pining for major networks to again broadcast live coverage of Trump campaign rallies is in.”
