“A week ago, the presidential race looked settled, but in politics, a week can be a lifetime,” Goidel said. “Biden’s decision to step aside puts everything back into play, but there are no guarantees here. A new, younger candidate may capitalize on widespread dissatisfaction with the two oldest president candidates in American history, or we may quickly return to the same storyline of a surging Trump against a Democratic Party in disarray.
“The only thing we know for sure is that with four months left to go, there are likely more twists and turns to this campaign,” he said.
