Donald Trump couldn’t have planned this better. The former president heads into next week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he’ll become the party’s official nominee, with the momentum of the clear front-runner.
And Trump has President Joe Biden to thank for much of that.
The two leading presidential candidates met for their first debate late last month – one that Biden “challenged” Trump to – and it didn’t go how Democrats thought it would.
Biden’s horrible performance has become the dominant topic of conversation in the news media and has sharply divided Democrats on whether the president should even stay in the race.
