However, according to Stelter, this strategy did not work.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing changed Trump&#8217;s status \u2062as \u2063the\u200d GOP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bachelor-host-chris-harrison-bashes-cancel-culture-fans-start-petition-to-cancel-him\/\" title=\"Bachelor Host Chris Harrison Bashes Cancel Culture, Fans Start Petition To Cancel Him\">front-runner<\/a> last\u2064 night,&#8221;\u200c Stelter stated.\u200b &#8220;He is still clearly the front-runner, but, you know, both \u200dof these\u2063 men, Tucker and Trump, they both want to seem independent, free of the RNC,\u2062 free of Fox, and that is appealing to their\u200c base audience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite Trump&#8217;s efforts, by the \u200bend of the debate, Stelter claims that it was\u2062 as if the interview &#8220;never happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It \u200cwas irrelevant, and now, this morning, Trump and Carlson fans\u200d are trying to claim that the \u2064interview was\u2064 widely viewed, it was more \u200dpopular than the debate, but that is bologna,&#8221; Stelter dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Twitter view counts are widely\u2063 overstated.
