Which of these has more potential?

Which site has the most potential?  Is higher DA always better?  Site 1 has lower DA but more visitors.

Site 1: Domain Authority



Site 1: Last 90 days



The first site above is an authority site on a specific topic but I no longer care about that specific topic and want to rank for other things.

The second is a news site that had millions of dollars spent on high quality content before I bought it and has much less visitors.

Site 2: Domain Authority



Site 2: Last 90 days



Based on these stats do you see a good reason to choose one over the other to focus on growing?

Thanks.
