Oooooh, boy. If Biden dies, the senate will choose the new VP. Currently, it’s a50-50 senate. If Walker wins and is 50-50, there’s no VP to break the tie in the next senate.

What an amazing time to be alive.

Don’t bet on SlowJoe croaking any time soon.
Experience shows that leftys with platinum healthcare go on forever, debilitated though they may be.

Carter >> 98
Soros >> 92
Castro >> 91

No VP then McCarthy next in line. But with no Leahy, who is president pro-tempore of the senate

A selected VP has to be confirmed by a simple majority of both Houses of Congress.

The calculation by Team Harris is not likely to change with the new Congress, since no seriously partisan candidate stands a chance in a Senate that’s either 50-50 OR 51-49, and a House with a non-functional majority.

You forgot Collins, Romney et al. They’ll side with the Democrats on whoever would be chosen.

They’ll appoint a VP, like Jerry Ford back then.
