A senior House Democrat reportedly told Axios that many in Congress have resigned themselves to a second Trump term following an assassination attempt on the former president’s life this weekend.

While most lawmakers who spoke to Axios said that they could not make any proper predictions until after the Democratic National Convention, at least one senior leader believed that former President Donald Trump will win the election.

“We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency,” the lawmaker was quoted as saying.

This anonymous quote sparked numerous reactions on social media.

“If you’re a ‘senior Democrat’ that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism. This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire,” said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

“Beyond pathetic,” said Never Trump Republican Bill Kristol.

Aside from Trump, other congressional Democrats told Axios that the move to replace President Joe Biden as the nominee has likely ended due to the attempted assassination.

If I were Trump I would fire every appointed official. Then instead of trying to fill the positions, I would leave them vacant and ignore any regulations or rulings that came from the departments as having no official leader.

And if civil service laws prevent their firings, he should start "investigations" of each individual and "suspend" them pending its conclusion (it would never conclude) and cancel their RFID clearance cards to the buildings. If they sue, fight the suits with the full power of the DOJ and refuse any court orders for 4 years, citing Executive Privilege.

Things look good today - but they can turn on you in a New York Minute.

Let’s not let up on the gas!
