I feel like God is going to play a big joke on the USA

Something like - Biden will suddenly die a week before the election, but with mail-in ballots and deep-state machinery cranked up, he’ll still win.

Then what?

If Biden died a week before the election , people would still vote for the Democratic ticket. Remember that when we go to vote we do not vote directly for a president but we vote for presidential electors.

I don’t know what happens if you have a deceased candidate who the electors are pledged to vote for. The electors Gather in each state to vote in the middle of December well after election day. Do they vote for the ticket they are pledged to and then the vice president becomes president? I wonder what would happen.

There is no panic if you assume you know the outcome. It’s kinda scary.

If the candidate dies before the election, the party can instruct Electors chosen in his name to vote for a designated individual. Nobody "votes for President", they vote for a slate of Electors who then go ahead and choose the President.

You have a point…but who gets the big prize?

For a while it seemed like the Dems needed a “woman of color” if Kamala was to be jettisoned.

But now with all the new Democrat “voters” (migrants) Black people aren’t needed as much.

You know Gavin is itching for the job but Michelle would have to be drug kicking and screaming into the Oval Office (according to people who know her).

Democrats have to have someone waiting in the wings, but who?!
