"... if he voluntarily chooses to step aside after the Aug. 22 conclusion of the convention"

That's a long time acoming. The speed with which Flatlinejoe's mental capacity is declining, by then there may be little he can do voluntarily.

Even today it's doubtful Dementiajoe can crap voluntarily.

*DNC Jamie Harrison would name a new nominee, in consultation with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.,Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Democratic Governors Association Chair Tim Walz of Minnesota. Their choice would be presented to DNC members — a group of party leaders much smaller and more elite than the delegates to the convention — for ratification or rejection.*

Sounds like super delegates.

And, actually, the three reporters got it WRONG. This is not true-

Under the existing rule, Democratic National Committee Chair Jamie Harrison name a new nominee, in consultation with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Democratic Governors Association Chair Tim Walz of Minnesota. Their choice would be presented to DNC members — a group of party leaders much smaller and more elite than the delegates to the convention — for ratification or rejection.

The rule is clear: the Democratic National Committee is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies.

Sure, they gotta consult with people, but there is no ratification requirement.

The DNC has plenary kingmaker power if Bidet bows out after becoming the nominee.

Changing the name legally on the ballots, well, that’s a different story…
