A media reckoning is underway regarding the inadequate coverage of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, with accusations of downplaying his decline. However, this focus overlooks a more significant failure: the mainstream media’s insufficient portrayal of the dangers of a second Trump presidency.

The media’s prioritization of “horserace coverage” and their late shift to focusing on Biden’s age further exacerbated this issue.

Kamala Harris’s political standing is hampered by her association with unpopular Biden administration policies, particularly the handling of inflation and the response to the situation in Gaza.
