8. Here's how

1. Middle East war Israel vs. Iran/Syria
2. Biden admin forced to declare full support of Israel
3. Pro Palestinian/anti-Israel supporters protest violently(?)
4. Biden admin either responds forcefully or mildly
5. Pro Palestinian voters sit out/vote against Harris in battleground states (Michigan, others) in protest
6. Harris loses enough votes at the margins to lose battleground states

Another October surprise might be seriously aggressive moves by Putin in Ukraine. Either or both scenarios would put enormous pressure on the Biden administration to respond, upsetting many voters no matter what that response might be. And Trump would be there braying constantly how only he can resolve such conflicts.

Netanyahu is not adverse to creating a situation that would adversely affect the Biden administration and promote Trump's candidacy, and neither is Putin.
