A spectator was also killed at the rally in Pennsylvania, the Secret Service said. Former President Donald J. Trump said in a post online that he had been “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his ear.
I don’t think it’ll seal it, but I think the whole Democratic dream of doing nothing and hoping that he says unpopular things and Biden can win without going out in public is completely dead.
We need a healthy, vibrant candidate to run aggressively against him. He can be stopped at the ballot box, but that will need an active, dynamic effort. It won’t happen on it’s own, which was clearly Biden’s campaign’s plan A.
It’s time for him to focus on being president and let Harris go out and make the case that she’s the right person to manage the four years.
It’ll be interesting to see how he responds to this. I think an appropriate message would be something like, ‘This is terrible: assassinations only weaken democracy, and so no matter how great the threat Trump poses, his defeat must be electoral.’
To quote Dubya, I don’t think Biden “does nuance”. I doubt he’s equipped. Perhaps this big event will give him an excuse to exist the race and say it’s because of something other than the debate performance.
Honestly I don’t think anything he says will have much meaning. What has happened tp trump will be foremost in a lot if swing voters mind. Bidens response is just talk.
Holy shit. I fear this is going to seal the win for him.
The shooter is going to go down in history as “the guy who fucking missed”.

Yep. Harris is the only viable option.
Biden was losing before this but he’s definitely lost now.
