Bravo to the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel. This peace agreement is the first positive sign of 2020.

I’m getting swamped by emails from reporters and officials asking how the Trump assassination attempt will affect the election, so here’s my response: 🧵
Saturday’s shooting in Pennsylvania will still have a huge impact Election Day.
It will guarantee that every Trump supporter now will be a Trump voter in November. Trump's voters are energized, Biden's voters are demoralized.
In recent months, President Trump has benefited from more passionate and engaged followers than the Biden campaign, but the shooting will turn that intensity gap into a chasm.
That participation gap is worth at least +1% to +2%. And because the shooting happened in Pennsylvania, the impact will be most significant in Pennsylvania.
