Maggie Haberman: Twitter Did Trump a Favor by Banning Him and Actually Hurt the Democrats

EXCERPT:

HABERMAN: “He said yesterday — or he had his people put out yesterday that he’s not going to go back on Twitter, even with Elon Musk buying it. Let’s see whether that holds true in a couple of months. I think it's very hard for him — he has to say that, because otherwise it craters that deal, the social media deal of his own from which he stands to make money. That thing is not going well. I tend to assume what he wants is to be back on Twitter. But, look, I think when you look at it politically, Republicans and Democrats will both tell you that Twitter did Donald Trump a favor and actually hurt Democrats by taking him off Twitter. He ceased to be a central player politically the same way and you got less of a reminder daily of the things he’s willing to say. So, let’s see where this goes.”
