If the Hunter Biden email scandal grew legs enough that Biden decides to drop out of the race what happens?
It is Kamala and if you check the Finnish dictionary, “kamala” means “AWFUL, TERRIBLE”.
Joe Biden is in trouble only if someone is going to prosecute his corruption. Who is going to prosecute his corruption?
People with Old Timers do not make decisions, their caretakers do.
Sorry! :)
No one. Biden, like Hillary is not worried.

Are you kidding?
As long as MSM is being controlled by DNC, FBI/CIA are being liberal-leaning, the so called Hunter Biden scandal can’t even lead to a political storm in a teacup.
:^)
Harris will add a hole ‘nother level of meaning to ‘international relations’...
Whole. Who says Otto For Wrecked doesn’t have a sense of humor?
Ideally he, humper et all go to jail.
Democrats are going to stick with him. It’s too late to do anything else, or go with anybody else.
They want the luck of him winning, and getting Kamala as president. Kamala as president is their real goal. It was never for Joe to be president, and he was used only for name recognition and as a vessel to get Kamala there.
Katie Hill?
She resigned a year ago!
If a candidate becomes "ineligible" after the Dimrat convention, the DNC charter allows them to designate the replacement.
Those who already cast their votes voted for a slate of electors associated with the candidate. Those electors my be released to vote for their "choice" who, no doubt would be the replacement.
I expect a move like this could be done within the next two weeks. The closer to election day, the more likely the shock effect could help the replacement candidate if they have name recognition...like the hildabeast.
What happens if a candidate has dropped out of the race but wins the popular vote in a state? Would the replacement nominee just receive those electoral votes? The answer lies in what that state has to say about its electors in the electoral college...If the former nominee won in a state that does not have a law on how its electors vote, then, theoretically, he or she could win all of that state's electoral votes. But if the former nominee won in a state that does have a law on how its electors vote, then one would have to look at that law's fine print to see what would happen and if the state's electoral votes could go to the replacement nominee.
Examples of state laws on presidential electors
Michigan: "Refusal or failure to vote for the candidates for president and vice-president appearing on the Michigan ballot of the political party which nominated the elector constitutes a resignation from the office of elector, his vote shall not be recorded and the remaining electors shall forthwith fill the vacancy." (Michigan State Statute 168.47)
-Florida: "Each such elector shall be a qualified elector of the party he or she represents who has taken an oath that he or she will vote for the candidates of the party that he or she is nominated to represent." (Florida State Statute 103.021)
Won’t happen. First he’ll deny wrong doing. Then he’ll say we need to reform the laws he broke.
That’s why Hunter kept the smoking gun files on his laptop, for insurance. He can’t trust the “Big Guy”, as is the norm in any mafia family.
This is not necessarily true. It depends on the individual states' election law.
In Texas, the votes cast for a candidate who withdraws still count towards the party's slate of Electors
Here is the relevant Texas state election law:
SUBCHAPTER C. WITHDRAWAL, DEATH, AND INELIGIBILITY OF PRESIDENTIAL AND VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATESSec. 192.061. WITHDRAWAL, DEATH, OR INELIGIBILITY GENERALLY. With respect to withdrawal, death, or ineligibility of a presidential or vice-presidential candidate in a general election, this subchapter supersedes Subchapter A, Chapter 145, to the extent of any conflict.
Sec. 192.062. PRESIDENTIAL OR VICE-PRESIDENTIAL PARTY NOMINEE. (a) The secretary of state shall certify in writing for placement on the ballot the name of a political party's replacement nominee for president or vice-president of the United States if:
(1) the original nominee withdraws, dies, or is declared ineligible on or before the 74th day before presidential election day; and(b) If the state chair's certification of a replacement nominee is delivered by mail, it is considered to be delivered at the time of its receipt by the secretary of state.
(2) the party's state chair delivers certification of the replacement nominee's name, signed by the state chair, to the secretary of state not later than 5 p.m. of the 71st day before presidential election day.
(c) The name of a nominee who has withdrawn, died, or been declared ineligible shall be omitted from the ballot and the name of the replacement nominee placed on the ballot if a replacement nominee is certified for placement on the ballot as provided by this section. Otherwise, the withdrawn, deceased, or ineligible nominee's name shall be placed on the ballot.
(d) A vote for a withdrawn, deceased, or ineligible nominee whose name appears on the ballot shall be counted as a vote for the nominating political party's presidential elector candidates.
I'm sure the other states have similar language in their state election law.

Nothing happens. The ballots have been made and sent out. Some already returned.
If he did win he would have to forfeit to Trump. Trump wins anyway.
not going to happen, Biden’s has too much ego and Dems and media cover and lie for him
