Seth and Thomas discuss the “October surprises” Trump hopes will hand him victory in November 2020, including those would-be game-changers that turned out to be duds (e.g., the Durham Report and the Trump-Biden debate); those we now know to be scams (e.g., a tranche of declassified ODNI documents involving Clinton and Obama, an imminent Saudi-Israeli “peace deal,” and Mike Pompeo’s attempted reigniting of the 2016 Clinton email case); and those that are exactly the sort of surprises Trump may have been hoping to avoid (among them, his own contraction of COVID-19 and the publication of a slew of stories about his tax returns). Few general election campaigns have seen this many dramatic attempts to entirely redraw the political landscape.
