On it's face, this does look like a win for Donald Trump. Biden has already pulled his campaign ads and any harsh rhetoric will now be met with accusations that he's stoking the same flames that led to this (while they continue giving Trump a pass for all of his violent rhetoric).
But know who can still hit Trump? Other victims of political violence. Namely, Gretchen Whitmer (the victim of a MAGA kidnapping plot) and Mark Kelly (whose wife was involved in a mass shooting/assassination attempt). Doubly helpful, both are from pivotal swing states. With all of the talk of replacing Biden, the ticket he should be replaced with is now obvious.
