This author wrote basically the same article last week but for RFK Jr (including even calling it “jitters”): https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4037218-rfk-jr-s-rising-profile-sparks-democratic-jitters/amp/
I’m personally pretty tired of “dems in disarray” as a narrative. I thought we left that behind in the midterms.
this context plus the Hill's existing reputation really makes this look like fishing for engagement, because even on the left Cornel's announcement was polarizing and not particularly well lauded. i cannot begin to imagine anybody but terminally online D voters caring about his presence in the race.
Ugh. this is such an important catch I almost think @veraticus's comment should be pinned for important context.
Yeah this just seems like fishing for eyeballs.
