“... CNN wants Trump to be the 2024 GOP nominee.”
I wonder about CNN’s strategy. They would have reasoned that a good performance by Trump would also bolster his chances against a Democrat opponent.
Maybe CNN just wants to enlarge its audience into independent and conservative territory and capture some of the disillusioned Fox audience.
It’s very debatable how much it helped him versus Biden or some other Democrat if Biden withdraws. He gave answers the conservative base likes.
