For the first time since Donald Trump was indicted in the spring of 2023, he has lost his grip on the news cycle and — temporarily at least — his message. Instead of commanding morning-to-night media attention, the former president and his allies suddenly find themselves reacting to their opponents.
It’s an unfamiliar experience for Trump, who has monopolized America’s televisions, newspapers and smartphones for more than 12 months through indictments, primary victories, 34 felony convictions, an assassination attempt and a Republican National Convention at which he was celebrated as a quasi-religious figure.
In the three days since President Joe Biden announced he was quitting the 2024 race, Trump has entered foreign territory. He has been largely crowded out from “earned media,” or organic news coverage that spreads rapidly among voters and costs campaigns nothing to produce. And his message has been, for the moment, scrambled as Democrats have replaced an old, frail white man with a younger Black woman who is campaigning energetically and giving new life to the Democratic base.

People evolve and change their opinions.
I just want to know from those that are bashing me on this site just how many votes Nick Cannon should get in the next election for his 12 kids.
This is pretty funny. I saw the headline and wondered, “Who could be stupid enough to write that headline? Trump’s in the news every day.” So I opened it and saw it was the NYT. Of course.
Good grief. It’s only been 3 days and she is on a “political hot-streak”?
More like a "political hot-mess".
She will be the candidate and we need to be worried.
She is 1/2 Indian, 1/4 Caucasian, 1/4 Black.
Whatever Pearl clutcher. Most of us support JD 100%. All the detractors can rot in hell with Matthew Crooks.
I won’t buy a New York Times, not ever
Agree it’s a misinformation pimp.
No wonder their lawyers are always on call.
The away Mets just swept the Yankees. THAT'S a hot streak. The celebrations will wilt in time. Horizontal will be exposed. Won't be long.
