The Republican Party is in total chaos and is still being led by Trump, so the media has set out to divide Democrats.

The press is pushing a story that doesn’t match the reality of the change in voting patterns. It doesn’t matter if Biden is facing Trump or DeSantis in 2024, Democrats will show up and vote. The reason why the press is trying to construct this narrative of Democratic division over Biden is because the Republican Party is a disaster.
Suppose Trump is the 2024 GOP presidential nominee. In that case, the election won’t be competitive, and if the election isn’t close, public interest is reduced. This translates to fewer viewers and clicks for an already struggling political news industry, so the corporate media is trying to create a storyline that they hope will become a reality.
