This 'October surprise' is now Biden's best hope: columnist

A political consultant and author of "The End of Democracy? Russia and China on the Rise and America in Retreat," avers in a column in The Hill on Monday that an October surprise is Biden's best hope to win the November presidential election, following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

Noting that the race is neck and neck, with Biden slightly behind in recent polling, writer Douglas Schoen argues that only a seminal event could turn the race decisively in one candidate's favor.
