Kind of odd, considering it was his own VP trying to off him. 🤷♂️
Scare event necessary
Reagan was shot very early in his term,
Things got worse, then they got better
If the election was in 1982, it would have not been that blowout.
Not much you could tell by the timing of the attempt on Regan
OK, still.
It's Joe-over.
It is possible that the assassination attempt helped, but life was great in 1984 and it would be foolhardy for any democrat to go up against a very popular President. The Democrats simply threw a sacrificial lamb in the name of Walter Mondale against Ronald Reagan. It didn't help that Mondale promised to raise taxes during his party's convention.
