Two main effects are to be expected: More people leaning towards him, that might not have gone to the polls out of whatever reason (lacking enthusiasm for example) will be more fired up to go vote, and his base will be more fired up to support him in grassroots campaigning. Also, some undecided voters will likely switch from the martyrdom narrative.
People who would sit at home and not vote may be more likely to vote. I hope every able person votes, but this may turn the tide if the other side doesn’t turn out in full force.
It makes him a martyr. Biden was already an extremely weak leader with a massive public perception problem. Trump surviving an assassination attempt while defiantly pumping his fist in the air is the clarion call for Amerikan Fascism.
Biden was already losing in every single swing state. I believe his existing chances before this event for winning reelection were somewhere around 10% at best. This obliterated those chances entirely. The average person is dumb as fuck, and they will vote for strong man leadership. It is a generational mind virus that rises up over and over again in the human psyche. This generation will be no different.
Care to explain where your certainty is coming from?
History…?
repeats…?
Biden’s poor polling combined with the tendency of those with assassination attempts against them being seen as martyrs.
On the contrary, I’m hoping that this is what it takes to make the polls look ugly enough to Biden that he finally steps down.
Aha! Surprise! WWIII!
Even more common to a president to remain president during active war!
God this timeline sucks.
Something happened with Reagan. Dip shits will see him as a martyr and rally hard behind him.
So people who were going to vote for the orange fuck are now going to vote for the orange fuck? How does that move the needle?
More* dumb fucks will now vote probably.

His base is already motivated, they were going to turn out regardless.
There’s a lot of conjecture, you may or may not be correct but I was taking issue with OP’s
That’s just fucking nonsense IMO.
No, it’s the undecideds that need just one reason are the ones you have to worry about.

We’re 4 months out, that’s a long time in politics.

I hate this reality. really hoping those polls are inaccurate.
I’m not a fan either.
