Answer: D. run stories that show how bad the economy has been under the current president

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are two people running for president in an election and one candidate is the current president who wants to get re-elected.

The thing that the media could do to hurt the president's chances of getting re-elected is by running stories that show how bad the economy has been under the current president.

This will paint the president as someone bad who can't manage the economy and will give an upper hand to the opposition during the election.
