Donald Trump has a lot of things to celebrate this week, but a foregone conclusion in November isn't one of them.
Joe Biden is down in the polls and losing the unwinnable war against time's toll.
But he's nothing if not tenacious, and the president has a trick ready to turn Trump's latest triumph -- over an assassin's bullet -- into a political defeat.

                            July 12, 2024Our Monarchical Presidency By Michael Barone
   Fourteen days after his disastrous debate, President Joe Biden is still in the race for reelection. Multiple elected Democrats, New York Times editorial writers and columnists, and Democratic Party megadonors -- "elites," sneers the perceptive David Dayen -- have called on him to step aside. A secret ballot of congressional Democrats, the procedure under which they choose their own party leaders, would surely go against Biden, probably by a wide margin.

July 11, 2024How Current Presidential Polling May Impact House Races By J. Miles Coleman
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— On Monday, Rep. Angie Craig (D, MN-2) became the first House Democrat from a marginal district to call for President Joe Biden to drop his reelection effort.
— With Biden intent on continuing his campaign, we thought it would be worth examining how his current polling could impact the House playing field.
— If the national popular vote were tied, we would expect Donald Trump to carry 10 additional House seats, compared to his 2020 result.
— If Trump won the popular vote by closer to three points, about where national polling suggests he is now, he could be positioned to flip about two-dozen previously Biden-won districts.
— It is possible that, even though the practice has been on the decline for some time, ticket-splitting may make something of a comeback in 2024.
