Maybe they killed him.
A failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Biden's mental state, whatever that may be.
Was he becoming too difficult, refusing to step out of the race?
Maybe he was becoming, just another loose end.

If he were dead, there would be no issue with transfer of power or choice of a new campaign head.
The current situation is more embarrassing to the Dems and to Biden than if he had died.

I think that it goes much deeper than a simple transfer of power. I expressed such in a recent OP.
The attempt on Trump was a desperate, last-ditch Hail Mary kind of thing. If failed. They really can't do it again as I think it'd be to obvious and would result in a real bad situation for those thought to be responsible.
I really think that they are lining stuff up to just burn down the whole thing. Scorched earth. If they can't take it, nobody will.

If the Dems wanted to take Trump out, I'm sure they would have had a better shooter, with a better gun doing it.
The shooter missed. It was a wonder that he even grazed Trump, as near as I can tell.
That Trump wasn't killed was not a sign of approval of him from God. Hitler, Stalin and Mao all survived assassination attempts.
It's probably just fair balance of karma because Trump did nothing about firearm regulation when he had reason, ability and motivation to do something after repeated mass murder shootings during his Presidency.
If the 2nd is about self defence, then a pistol might be arguable as weapon of self defence, but an AR style rifle? Get real! And if the 2nd is about defence from tyranny, then it was written exactly to enable the action that the shooter no doubt believed he was using the firearm for.
So, whichever way you interpret the 2nd, it is just a bad bit of legislature that cannot achieve any good end, at least in the 20th and 21st centuries.

AR-15's were just fine in your country until just a couple years ago when a guy from another country came in and shot 50 or so folks with the expressed purpose of getting your country to outlaw them. it worked. I just hope nobody comes over there and wants to keep KIWI's from drinking water.
But we are all good with rifles, and those with enough sense to understand things know, a semi automatic rifle is just that, even if it's black and scary looking.

Ah yes, the statistics. And in the interest of honesty, integrity, and non douche-baggery, I'm sure you will exclude the gang violence from those numbers, and focus on the real data, right?

Or you could just lump those numbers into the national numbers, in order to make it appear that we have a much larger problem and AR-15's are the reason.
