Katharine,

From the outset, this case was rocket fuel for Trump's reelection, as predicted by John Bolton. His conviction is a booster, and sentencing a few days before the Republican convention will be another propellent.

The Democrat's momentary excitement is an opportunity for them to strengthen their hand.

Replacing Biden (who is polling behind Trump in 6 critical states and even in another) is doable but tricky.

Short of that, Harris needs to be replaced by someone who can communicate effectively for Biden, his massive deficit. Buttigieg would be perfect for the role if Biden could persuade him.

Democrats must wake up from their slumber, denials of reality, and cowardice to act BOLDLY. Without it, Trump will win the presidency.

Best.
