Democrats Unset by Media's Post-Assassination Coverage of Trump

Amidst the ongoing investigation into the assassination attempt targeting Donald Trump, CNN analyst Mark Preston reveals Democrats' concerns over the media's portrayal of the former president.

The assassination attempt on Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate within the Democratic camp, with concerns emerging over the media's coverage of the event. According to CNN senior political analyst Mark Preston, Democrats have expressed frustration and frustration, fearing that the near-fatal incident will shift the narrative surrounding Trump's candidacy.

Preston revealed that Democrats have reached out to him, cautioning against altering the media's approach towards Trump and the upcoming election. "They're upset and they're sending me messages saying, 'Hey, don't act like Donald Trump has changed just because somebody tried to kill him,'" Preston said. "So it's interesting to see Donald Trump say that he has kind of changed as a person. We'll see what he's like when he comes here."

While Trump has hinted at a change in tone for his upcoming speech at the Republican National Convention, Democrats remain skeptical, emphasizing that his fundamental character remains unaltered.

Alongside the media coverage, Trump has experienced a legal setback with a federal judge dismissing a classified documents case in Florida. The ruling, coupled with his survival of the assassination attempt, has been deemed a "huge win" by Preston, who believes it further bolsters Trump's momentum.

Preston noted, "I mean, if you look at all of his wins, everything that has happened, even the assassination attempt on Saturday, like he has been able to gain strength from this."

The Democratic perspective, however, is far more pessimistic. They view Trump's resilience as a hindrance to their aspirations of preventing his return to office. Preston highlighted the growing concern among Democrats, stating, "They're looking for Donald Trump to be taken out, whether it's through the judicial system or whether it's at the ballot box, you know, they don't want to see him back in office."
