New York Times: “Rupert Murdoch once confided to friends in the fall of 2020 that he thought Donald J. Trump was going “increasingly mad” and would be “a danger” in a second term — and happily predicted that by the end of that year, “Trump will be becoming irrelevant.” Two years later, he backed Mr. Trump’s chief rival in the Republican primaries, Gov. Ron DeSantis, bestowing Mr. DeSantis with the brute-force promotional heft that only he could deliver.”
“But on Tuesday, Mr. Murdoch, the recently retired global media titan, was in Milwaukee to take his place among the rank-and-file Republican faithful. And with that, he became one of the most prominent one-time Trump detractors to line up behind the former president and join a convention that has doubled as a resounding show of Republican unity.”
