? maybe I'm crazy, but this seems like a wild take
The thunder from Trump's assassination attempt was stolen by Biden stepping down
If Biden had stepped down and let Kamala take over sooner, and crazy dude (who wasn't shooting about anybody or anything in particular, afaik - dude was just shooting at whoever was closest) still shot at Trump on the same date, I truly believe the Dems would be fucked.
It is only the fickle nature of our news cycle (plus the fact that she ascended after the attempt on Trump's life) that's keeping her afloat.
Will be super interesting to see what happens in a couple months once the novelty wears off.
