Being better than that hasn’t worked very well. I don’t like it, but we’re playing by street fighting rules now, not marquess of queensbury
Boy, are we having fun now or what?
No. Choosing a candidate is a party function, not a state or federal function. But a Kamala replacement candidacy might have to overcome state election law deadlines.
That being said, it might be good to have her replace 'Out-to-Lunchbox' Joe and get creamed in the election to ensure that she is finished in politics.
Not if he decides to step down. The question is, if indeed he decided not to run, I'd have to wonder if the decision was actually his.
““If the Biden family decides that President Biden will not run for re-election, the mechanisms for replacing him on ballots vary by state.”
What if he croaks?
Of what? CEO of a bankrupt corporation? Is he Commander In Chief? I don't believe he is.
Here is how I see it playing out that avoids early court intervention and can be controlled completely by the Dem party:
1.) Many of the states’ delegates are obligated (by law) to vote for Biden
2.) He wins the nomination on the first ballot
3.) He declines the nomination (from a backroom deal) sending everyone into apoplexy.
4.) the Dems are now obligated to nominate a new candidate (from the same backroom deal) which may or may not involve V.P. Harris.
5.) The replacement candidate is chosen.
6.) Then they have to go to court to get the candidate on the states’ November ballots.
Ballot prep deadlines. Some are past and many looming.
I am sympathetic to your point of view but it is a dangerous game to play isn’t it.

“Joe isn’t just the right person for the job. He’s the only person for the job,” Jill Biden declared.
“I’m trying to think of a bigger metaphorical middle finger to Vice President Kamala Harris, and I’m coming up empty”!

Great post. I believe the legal issue related to the 2024 nomination process will come down to individual state laws that govern their primary processes.
Yea, ok.
This may be an end-game tactic that they're holding on to as an "in case of emergency" maneuver. They're just not ready to break the glass on it yet.

Threatening this is good. Ultimately, egging on all the Demagogic Party factions to fight each other, with more court victories at all levels, and repeals, recalls, removals, will pay off in November and thereafter.

For what it is worth, Biden is not removed by the 25th anendment. He is still the President of the United States. The 25th amendment merely removes and transfers his powers. The only way to remove a president against his will is by impeachment in the house and conviction in the senate by 2/3 of the majority sitting
That’s what I’ve been wondering. Any candidate might die naturally a few days before an election, and the states would deal with it. Biden stepping down doesn’t mess things up any more than his death would.
I guess they need some money to make it happen?
I put Judicial Watch and Tom Fitton on a monthly auto/pay from my bank. They do fantastic work for America. I recommend all Freepers do the same. Even $25.00 per month will help Fitton slay the marxist bastards who have infected this country like syphilis.
yes it is and I wish we didn’t have to do it, but apparently we have no choice
