Does Biden have to be removed by the 25th amendment in order for Kamala to step in? Will Heritage fight her taking over and or fight who they want to put in his VP?

I think you’re on the right track.
She will be the next candidate for the Democrats.
Even their party rules restrict who can get (most of) the campaign money if it’s not Kamala.

Does Biden have to be removed by the 25th amendment in order for Kamala to step in?

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.

"Does Biden have to be removed by the 25th amendment..."

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.

[Political Junkie Too]

I do think that those states that have a requirement for some form of certified infirmity to be removed from the ballot would accept a 25th amendment discharge of power as acceptable proof of infirmity.

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.

Heritage probably won’t fight a 25th move. The only politician less popular than Joe is Kamala. The fight to replace here will burn down the rat party.

I might even identify as a dem to denounce giving Kamala the Aunt Jemima/ Uncle Ben treatment to erase her. Operation Chaos 2.0
