The New York Times notes Republicans face a tough path to victory next year. With minority status, they must greatly increase their vote to contend with Democrats and secure a presidential elector majority. If unsuccessful, the election could go to the House where Democrats would prevail.
The New York Recorder argues that selecting Cleveland would give the Democratic candidate Warrison a strong prestige of victory over the same opponent.
