Unexpectedly!
As soon as it was clear that Donald Trump was going to be the 2024 Republican nominee, the media jumped in to convince us that Trump was in big trouble. As Politico reported earlier Tuesday, Trump "is bleeding moderate support."
Trump is bleeding moderate support. It could cost him the 2024 election. https://t.co/1hKwFJxbKb

Politico wants it to cost him the election. Nikki Haley could appeal to moderates as well as Democrats, but a lot of Republicans would sit at home on Election Day.
The immediate shift in coverage regarding Trump’s general election chances as soon as DeSantis dropped out is really something. https://t.co/jKGuCx5vSt

They couldn't even wait a week to at least pretend they weren't doing this on purpose...

No, not so much, but cope is a strong drug.

All they are doing is creating a sense that everybody needs to vote. I don't think they will like the outcome if conservatives come out of the woodwork this election

Ace presidential debate moderator John Harwood also weighed in on the "massive analytic shift" from Joe Biden being in trouble to Trump being in trouble.

we're in early stages of massive analytic shift from "Biden's in big trouble" to "Trump's in big trouble" https://t.co/yp3FboUBFu

Biden's approval numbers are still at the lowest point of his administration.
Is the "Analytic Shift" in the room with us now?

Fun to see y’all craft the narrative in real time.

Weird that this news is coming out as soon as Desantis drops out. Weird.

Are you trying to form a narrative, or report the news?

You know we see you right?

Biden's still in big trouble. He's not getting any younger, the border is wide open, and it's just possible that "81 million" people won't turn out to the polls this time around.
