As the Democrats publicly struggle with their Biden problem, the GOP’s convention strategy will feature outreach to the other party’s disaffected voters.
As the terror of Saturday’s assassination attempt subsided, the image of Trump raising his fist in the immediate aftermath became instantly iconic.
Nearly every Republican now sees him as the toughest S.O.B. ever to run for President as they pray for the innocent victims of the assault.
The vicious anti-Trump rhetoric that clearly contributed to this tragedy could force Democrats to shift away from their strategy of constantly calling him an “existential threat to democracy.”
But Saturday’s attack on Trump also culminated the former president’s most successful two-week period since Election Day 2016.
The June 27 CNN presidential debate was a political earthquake — a disaster for President Biden that shined an unforgiving light on his cognitive decline and revealed one of the most significant political coverups of our time.
On top of that, recent Supreme Court rulings have disrupted the Democrats’ lawfare campaign.
In national polls, Trump is leading — something no Republican presidential candidate has done at this stage of the campaign since 2000.
Trump leads in all six of the swing states most pivotal to determining the outcome and appears to be expanding the Republican map.
He has raced past Biden in cash on hand and has his party solidly behind him.
Meanwhile, Biden’s recent troubles have led to a drop-off in donations, and his party is in full panic mode four months from Election Day.
And if the GOP didn’t already have enough momentum, Trump now heads to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention, where he will be nominated unanimously — since all his primary rivals have now instructed their delegates to support him.
