Did Trump shooting just save Biden's place on the ticket?

Raw Story  

D.C. gossip stalwarts Politico and Axios are reporting that the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has stopped calls for Biden to quit the ticket in its tracks. "After dominating the headlines for more than two weeks, the Dump Biden campaign has gone almost entirely quiet since the assassination attempt on Trump," Politico's Playbook wrote Monday. And "Biden critics" told Axios that they're determined to address "their personal security and that of their staffs, not on their party’s political woes." "While the Biden campaign has cited polling showing that the race remains neck-and-neck, astute political operators argue that such polling focuses on head-to-head match-ups — but in multiway polling including third party candidates, they’re losing — and have been for months."
