It's wild. I'll admit I was worried about it helping him swoop back in.

I think the fact the shooter was a white reactionary just looking to kill anyone famous nearby took some of the wind out of their sails. That and how Trump wasn't really that badly hurt, like it turns out it was a scrape from some glass not an actual gunshot wound. It's not like Reagan having to have surgery.

That and the timing of Biden stepping down and Harris ascending.

Whether or not it was intentional, the timing of Biden stepping down was very good for the democunts.
