Keep an eye on the whereabouts of Donna Brazile—she is the current Chairperson of the DNC—and it will be their job to choose a replacement if needed.
Senator Gillibrand... Senator Gillibrand... Please pick up the White Courtesy Phone...
There’s really no time left for a replacement to launch an effective campaign.
They would have to go with an established candidate such as Biden to even have a shot at not *losing* seats in the House and Senate. And they would have to beg Biden to run; I’m not sure he’d take it.
If they don’t choose Bernie (and they won’t; he resigned his membership in the Democrat party about a month ago to revert to Independent) the Bernie voters will be enraged times two as he gets passed over a second time.
They *have* to drag her across the finish line at this point.
They really have no choice.
