NBC News really wants Donald Trump to be the 2024 nominee, Exhibit A

The Trump 2024 camp and the DeSantis 2024 camps have been set in place (even though Gov. Ron DeSantis hasn’t declared his candidacy), and it’s pretty clear that the mainstream media is on Team Trump. NBC News reports that it should have been a bad week for Donald Trump — after all, he said he’d be indicted on Tuesday, and instead, the grand jury was dismissed Wednesday and Thursday and nothing happened (sorry, Rob Reiner).

Others believe DeSantis should sidestep Trump altogether and wait until 2028 to run.

But … the walls are closing in on Trump, for real this time.
