Republican Party inclusivity: The Republican Party, under Trump, is positioning itself as a more inclusive and tolerant tent, while the Democratic Party faces internal turmoil and declining poll numbers for Biden
Learning from the RNC and Democratic Party developments is that the Republican Party, under Donald Trump, is positioning itself as a more inclusive and tolerant tent, open to all, even skeptics. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is facing internal turmoil, with senior Democrats, including Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Hakeem Jeffries, reportedly urging President Biden to step down due to his poor performance in the debates and declining poll numbers. This comes as reliable polling data shows Biden losing support in key states, further increasing the pressure on him to step aside. The RNC's message of unity and inclusivity, coupled with the Democratic Party's internal strife, could potentially shift the political landscape in favor of the Republicans.
Republican confidence in election: Republicans are confident in their chances in the election due to perceived disarray within the Democratic Party and doubts about Joe Biden's fitness, using this uncertainty to bolster their campaign

This confidence stems from the perceived disarray within the Democratic Party, with doubts being raised about Joe Biden's fitness to be a presidential candidate and some Democrats even calling for him to drop out of the race. The Republicans are capitalizing on this uncertainty and using it to bolster their own campaign, with some expressing strong support for Trump and dismissing potential Democratic contenders as weak opponents. The mood at the RNC was one of optimism and unity, in stark contrast to the turmoil on the Democratic side.

Trump's speech at RNC: Trump's speech lacked clarity and consistency, but his advantages in the race remain strong. Possible Biden dropout and Democratic disarray could change dynamics.
