It’s not clear that this is a fatal accusation or that a replacement candidate selected by party bosses would be in a better position to win. Scandals just aren’t what they used to be while insider politics has been losing repeatedly.

It’s fatal. The tattoo and earlier abuse allegations combined dragged him from a mid-high single-digit lead to a statistical tie in a race with an opponent who usually overperforms. And this latest scandal is so awful that it has caused virtually every major supporter from Chuck Schumer and the DSCC to Ro Khanna and Our Revolution to cut bait. He might still have a diehard base of true believers, but that isn’t enough to win.
