The Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump’s Impact on the Presidential Race.
The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump may have sealed his victory at the polls in November, according to veteran political consultant Dick Morris. Trump’s bravery during the incident has not only garnered sympathy but also strengthened his standing with voters, potentially leading to a significant boost in the polls for him and the Republican party.
Morris made these remarks on his WABC podcast, stating that “functionally, the race is over,” and predicting that Trump would win if he survived the assassination attempt. The political consultant also noted that there was nothing that could stand in Trump’s way except another violent act, suggesting that this incident might have sealed the fate of the Democratic Party in the current presidential race.
With Trump’s escape from death, some Democratic heavyweights have called for President Joe Biden, 81, to step down from the presidential race due to concerns about his mental and physical health. However, Trump and his campaign team are now focusing on taking extra precautions, such as speaking behind protective shields, to ensure the Republican nominee’s safety.
During the Milwaukee convention this week, Morris predicts that Trump and the Republicans could experience a significant bounce in the polls, with an increase of 10 to 15 points. This lead would be nearly impossible for the feuding Biden and his Democratic party to overcome, according to the political pundit.
The iconic image of a bloodied Trump with his fist raised in defiance after being shot in the ear is expected to resonate with voters and evoke comparisons to the Marine Corps World War II Iwo Jima Memorial statue. Morris believes that this moment will go down in history and significantly bolster Trump’s standing in the polls, though it remains unclear how much impact the assassination attempt will have on his overall chances of winning the election.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has been demoralized, with 20 congressional party members urging Biden not to seek re-election and pass the torch to someone else for a chance at defeating Trump. Despite this pressure, a defiant Biden remains committed to being the party’s standard bearer in the upcoming election.
Dick Morris, who has represented both Democrats and Republicans throughout his career and recently championed Trump in his 2022 book “The Return: Trump’s Big 2024 Comeback,” predicts that this week may prove to be a very bad one for the Democratic Party as they struggle to regain momentum following the assassination attempt on their rival.
