Trump commands historic attention for an ex-president. That may hurt the GOP.
CNN
In the month of July, Biden and Trump have been running about equally in mentions on cable news. This is really unusual. Four years ago in July, Trump was getting mentioned on cable more than Barack Obama by a 9:1 ratio.
But even as we stand more than six months into Joe Biden's administration, the President is fighting for attention with his predecessor, Donald Trump, to a degree not seen in recent history. The impact of this dynamic could upend expectations about the midterm elections. Dominating cable news mentions was one of the reasons Biden and Trump won their respective nominations before becoming president.More Related News
