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.

Yep, she turned out to be the wrong SS employee to be filling that spot, a deliberate choice by someone knowingly using the wrong criteria for hiring and assigning of employees.
Except, I actually think all the other Dem candidates in 2020 were dead ends. Certainly Kamala and Liz were.
Work of art.
Just think if yesterday's DNC hit on Trump had been successful. Today would have been the start of the biggest food fight in history as Newsome, Whitmer, Hillary and probably a dozen other Dems would all suddenly demand Joe's nomination now that they didn't have to go up against Trump.
she should not be on body detail for a 6’2” person
yup, gotta love Scott...
This is too funny. The rodents themselves are saying it’s over and Pinocchio will be their addled brained nominee but the Surrender Monkeys are acting like the poor db Japs that “fought” WW2 until the 1970s.
The Surrender Monkeys will keep trying to undermine our enthusiasm pushing ahead even without the rodents.
And she was ducking down. What the hell does she think her job is? Well at least she didn’t break a nail. Good for her.
I really doubt that is going to happen. People are pissed off now.
My prediction: they will martyr Biden and blame MAGA. The easiest way to replace him since he refused to go willingly. Civil unrest? The PTB like it when the peons fight amongst themselves.
:-)
That was definitely a Freudian slip from Biden!
That’s borderline obscene! :-)
Or... They will stage a fake assassination to make Biden look heroic.
You could think that... but they actually want him gone. Him continuing to dotter around is embarrassing.
Anything can happen.
Unfortunately she might also be the agent who yelled out DONALD DUCK! which of course confused everyone else.
Seriously?! LOL!!!
They are merely regrouping to come back worse.
