No idea, last year's October Surprise was way better the-boys-are-back-in-town

There was no surprise. Trump was leading the whole time.

Dems tried to make "All Trump's old friends say he likes Hitler" a thing for about five minutes in late October, but it flopped.

The GOP made a big fuss about Peanut the Squirrel for the last week of the election.

All the bombshells were sent to the Zionist entity and the Ukraine

Israel's invasion of Lebanon started on Oct 1, I'd say that counts. It contributed to the overall sense that people had that the Democrats were asleep at the wheel and the world was getting worse under them.

It wasn't October but that assassination attempt was the first time a lot of people seriously considered the chance that Trump could win, rather than just writing him off like he was destined to rot in prison.
