Makes more sense than shooting out transformers, like Nazis have been doing for several years: it stands a chance of starting a series of retaliatory killings

Even the failed attack is creating right-wing calls to stop hiring minorities for Secret Service roles

The shooter was a Republican

Has me wondering if this was an attempt to start a race war, like a bunch of past mass shootings, attempts to knock out power by shooting transformers, etc.

Biden did beat Trump. And if polling is to be believed, stands a ~50% chance of doing so again. That's actually better than a lot of other plausible Democrats
