The dreadful debate performance put forth by President Joe Biden last week may have caused panic among the Democratic Party and its donors, but it will be largely forgotten in a week, thanks to a slew of major news-making events on the calendar.

While some have claimed the strategic benefit of having the first presidential debate in late June allows the Democratic Party time to replace the senile and elderly Biden as the party’s nominee, the real benefit is the major events on the calendar that will push the debate far from the voter’s minds.

The first major date on the post-debate calendar was Monday, the final day of the Supreme Court term, which delivered a landmark ruling in Trump v. United States that declared that presidents are presumptively immune from prosecution for official actions. The ruling was immediately the lead story on every single news outlet, severely outshining any other story about the debate, Biden’s campaign, or his family’s influence on his political future.

The second major date is Thursday, the Fourth of July. Biden lucked out by scheduling the debate a week before a federal holiday that will see the entire country tuned out of the political cycle and instead focused on fireworks, backyard grilling, and pool parties. When going on vacation is top of mind, there is no room for politics — that is unless you live and work in Washington, D.C., and your entire life revolves around politics.

The third major date is July 11. On this date, former President Donald Trump, Biden’s opponent in the presidential election, will be sentenced by a New York judge after a jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in one of the several politically motivated prosecutions of the former president. As with all of the lawfare efforts against Trump, the former president will likely see a boost in fundraising, especially if he is sentenced to prison. But for Biden, this event will help his standing in the Democratic Party insofar as it will keep reminders of his senility out of the national headlines.

The final date on the calendar is July 15-18, when the Republican Party will convene at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee to nominate Trump as the party’s candidate for president. It is the last possible date that Trump can pick a vice presidential nominee to join him on the ticket. This massive GOP gathering will be the preeminent news story for the entire week, ensuring that any talk of Biden’s debate failures and mental state will be minimal.

This all builds up to the Democratic Party’s own convention in Chicago, where Biden is poised to be chosen as the party’s nominee for a second term. But the convention is not slated to take place until Aug. 19-22, a full month after the Republican convention.

But the party reportedly has a contingency plan in mind that will use the Biden-friendly calendar to its full advantage. Rather than wait for the convention, Bloomberg reported that the party is formulating plans to nominate Biden via a virtual roll call vote on July 21, just days after the Republican convention closes. The in-person convention would still go on as planned, but the event would serve more of a ceremonial purpose.

But even if the party holds its nominating vote at the convention in August, it will come after another major event. The entire world will tune out of politics entirely as the Paris Olympics open on July 26 and run for two full weeks before the actual Democratic National Convention.

At that point, Biden’s debate performance will be ancient history as he delivers a speech on the final day of the convention, accepting his party’s nomination and forging ahead to the November election. And any attempt to replace him will be too late.
