The October Surprise isn't what it used to be
Original: Analysis | The October Surprise isn’t what it used to be
The Washington Post published an analysis arguing that the classic 'October Surprise' — a late-breaking event that upends a US presidential campaign — has lost its force. The piece suggests that in today's polarised, news-saturated environment, last-minute revelations no longer shift voters the way they once did, as electorates are already entrenched in their views.
Why now: US election season is in full swing, prompting debate over whether late campaign shocks still matter.
