 BIDEN IN THE SENATE IN THE 1970S SEES ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS AGAINST PRESIDENT FORD. SEES PRESIDENT REAGAN SHOT IN 1981. SOMEONE'S FOR A HALF CENTURY ON THE AMERICAN SCENE WATCHING VIOLENCE. VIOLENCE PROMPTS HIM INTO THE RACE AFTER CHARLOTTESVILLE IN 2017. HE ULTIMATELY WINS THE PRESIDENCY IN 2020. SO THIS IS A MOMENT WHERE A CONVENTION IS BEGINNING.
