The media fawned over the 'most diverse' Democratic field of candidates in 2020, but there has been minimal attention paid to the diversity of the 2024 GOP hopefuls.
Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz joined 'The Faulkner Focus' to discuss comparisons between Trump and DeSantis' 2024 White House bids and attacks on Sen. Tim Scott after his major announcement.field is shaping up to one of the most racially diverse in modern memory, but a media landscape that repeatedly touted the 2020 Democratic candidates as an American tapestry doesn't seem nearly as interested this time around.
The legacy media heralded the"most diverse" Democratic field of presidential candidates during the 2020 election cycle. USA Today columnist Jill Lawrence urged readers to"Celebrate the diverse 2020 Democratic candidates and don't fret about 'electability.'" Fast-forward to the 2024 election cycle, and many of those same news organizations have gone quiet on the diversity of the growing GOP primary race. The 2024 Democratic field currently consists of Biden, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Marianne Williamson, who are all White and over 69 years old.
Republican presidential hopefuls Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Larry Elder and Vivek Ramaswamy are defying the left's notion that the GOP is only made up of old White men."Several liberal reporters called me for comment when Tim Scott announced his candidacy. They asked: ‘You and Tim Scott are both Black Republicans, what distinguishes you from him?’" Elder told Fox News Digital.
"Isn’t it time the race and gender obsessed media discuss a candidate’s qualifications without emphasizing his or her race, ethnicity or gender?" Elder wondered."My having an ‘R’ at the end of my name made my ‘firstness’ irrelevant. Hochul having a ‘D’ at the end of her name made her ‘firstness’ a cause for celebration."
