After NBC devoted three full segments and over seven minutes of air time to promoting Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign at the top of Monday's Today, the network morning show offered another full segment at the top of the 7:30 a.m. ET half hour fawning over the 2016 contender, with co-host Matt Lauer proclaiming: "Let us begin this half hour, though, with more on Hillary Clinton's second run for the White House and what we can expect from her family this time around."

In the report that followed, correspondent Peter Alexander gushed: "...a lot of political analysts these days are intrigued by the role that Chelsea Clinton may play this time around and whether she, in fact, is the 'X' factor that could have a big impact on her mom's campaign."
