With Donald Trump having narrowly escaped death at the hands of a would-be assassin on Saturday, the state of the presidential race has never been more chaotic. In the weeks prior, all eyes were on Joe Biden and his severe mental and physical decline, with many high-level Democrats desperately trying to organize a way to force him out of the race.
Yet, after the attempt on Trump's life, the rush to replace Biden as the Democratic Party nominee has essentially ended, and not for the reason one might think. According to NBC News, the replacement campaign has lost steam not because Democrats think the president can seize a moment of unity, but because they think the race is now over.

— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) July 14, 2024 “We’re so beyond f---ed,” one longtime Democratic insider said, noting that the image of Trump thrusting his fist in the air, with blood dramatically smeared across his face, will be indelible.
“The presidential contest ended last night,” said a veteran Democratic consultant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to give a candid assessment of his own party’s standing less than four months before the election.
“Now it’s time to focus on keeping the Senate and trying to pick up the House,” he said. “The only positive thing to come out of last night for Democrats is we are no longer talking about Joe Biden’s age today.”
A Biden campaign spokesperson did not respond to NBC News’ request for comment on how the attempted assassination of Trump might affect the dynamics of their rematch. A White House spokesperson declined to comment.

Good news for the front runner dems in line to replace Biden at the DNC convention. Now they don’ have to hide out that week.
Ballot stuffing probably isn’t needed...
There are at least 10-to-20 million migrant invader vermin waiting & registered via drivers license to vote...
The MIVs will certainly vote a straight communist ticket...
But you called him a Nazi, a Fascist, and a domestic terrorist. Just a few days ago you said you were going to put him in the cross hairs. You also said he was criminal that should be locked up and he was a threat to democracy.
Biden: "Come on' man! Don't you ever trash talk your pals? It's all in good fun!"
I’m looking forward to the September debate.
Having Trump returned to the presidency, but losing the House and not taking the Senate would be the biggest waste of time in American history.
It will be tough enough to fulfill promises of the platform with both houses of congress and slim majorities, but the Dem m-er-f-ers will impeach him again if they regain the House.
He’ll get nothing done without a strong majority in the House. And then they’ll call him “ineffective”. I wish the Dems would go back to worrying about replacing Biden. They MUST NOT get the House and keep the Senate.
A lovely bird, ornate with pretty pink plumage. Just awesome
It could be she is trying to use all her pushing and shoving muscles to get the big man moving forward, throwing her body into it.
No one with half a brain should want any democrats in the house or the Senate at this point. Too bad a lot of elected republicans aren’t much better .
Message: Subpoena these lawmakers. Taxpayers demand to know who organized this heinous assault on democracy-----exposing candidates to harm and assassination----and the number of tax dollars and tax-subsidized aides and office supplies that were used in this atrocity.
Your sentiment is shared by MANY today.
A weak top of ticket with a doomed Biden will depress the democrat vote, making it easier for us to take down ticket races.
Even if so, she left President Trump’s center mass and head exposed. Not good.
Thank you!
We won’t have to use inflammatory words at the RNC, we can just replay all of theirs from the past 8 years.
Never turn your back on a cornered beast.
Well done.
Thanks for posting.
DemocRats shift from efforts to replace Biden to just plain old ballot box stuffing.

Exactly. No one should believe for a second that it’s over.
