NBC News reported last night that Democrats are now fretting about the election in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Trump’s life on Saturday.
Some of them believe the election is now over and that Trump will be voted president again in November:
At a time when President Joe Biden has been struggling to shore up support with fellow Democrats following a miserable June debate performance and shaky cleanup effort, some professional Democratic political operatives said Saturday’s shooting will end up sealing the incumbent’s electoral fate.
“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.”
Honestly, I think this consultant is absolutely right. That moment right after the assassination attempt was an emotional moment where the people of this country truly saw a leader in Trump and that seal the fate of the worst president in our lifetime.
