Has there ever been a US presidential candidate that survived their assassination attempt and lost the election?
The thought just occurred to me. I tried looking it up but at a glance I could only find presidents not presidential candidates.
On the subject of the matter: I think he just won the election. They might pull some gay shit still, but come on. I will mention this. It was always said in '16, in '20 and now in '24 that if they couldn't get smear him away, they'd kill him. Biden as pathetic as he is right now, the trial being a dud on Trump's reputation, and the debate - all of this seems to have forced them to take a shot and they missed.
