Because 95% of journalists oppose that candidate, and “our enemies want $CANDIDATE to win” is a comforting and easy to promote notion.
Well, as do like, 100% of the high-level bureaucrats that served said candidate in their previous presidency.

It's obvious that the current approach is more threatening to the PRC than the old one...perhaps that's why the PRC wants to bring him back? Seems like his recent flip-flop on TikTok fits into the equation too.
