Nothing in presidential history compares to the disparate events of the last 10 days in terms of shaping a presidential campaign.
An assassination attempt, a generational vice presidential selection, a seamless national convention, a decision by a sitting president not to stand for re-election.
Unprecedented.
What has resulted changes the scenario of a competition between the oldest two men ever to vie for the White House, but, depending on the selection of a Democratic nominee, it may not change the scenario for a competition between two of the least popular candidates to run for president.
Since President Joe Biden decided not to stand for re-election on Sunday, reportedly having been told by his closest aides that he couldn’t win and might seal the chances of losing the Senate and not winning back the House, many Democrats have been rallying around Vice President Kamala Harris.
