The Las Vegas Review-Journal Endorses…Donald Trump?
The press doesn’t seem as united in opposition to former President Donald Trump this election cycle.
“Las Vegas Review-Journal endorses Donald Trump for president,” announced that outlet this week, in a surprise endorsement that stunned political observers.
“The hurricane of history charts a chaotic course,” the Review-Journal began ruefully. “The gales of recent months have left political norms strewn across the landscape. The turbulence has rattled both major parties and left many voters unsettled and apprehensive.”
“Former President Donald Trump has run his campaign under the specter of various criminal charges, some of which were certainly prosecutorial overreach brought to cripple him politically,” added the outlet. “He is appealing a guilty verdict in a New York case involving real estate valuations and has a reasonable chance of prevailing. Mr. Trump has also been the victim of two unsuccessful assassination attempts in the past 14 weeks, one at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, the other at a Florida golf course.”
“In the meantime, Democrats were thrown into turmoil — at least temporarily — after President Joe Biden’s dismal and sad debate performance in late June,” the Review-Journal reflected futher.
