House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday he could foresee “legal hurdles” in some states if President Biden is replaced as the Democratic nominee.
He told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that Democrats will have “real problems” if Mr. Biden is pushed to be replaced.
“I mean, every state has their own election system. That’s our constitutional system,” said Mr. Johnson, Louisiana Republican. “That’s the way it’s done. And in some of these states, it’s a real hurdle. They have a real problem of replacing the nominee on the top of the ticket.”

I’m probably late to this already, but I predict Dem-rats will level instant charges of racism against any State or official that dares follow its own laws and impede the Party wishes.
There are a few hardened individuals and more every day who can stand firm, but most elected types are terrified of an “ist” word and will run screaming into the hills and fold.
The remainder will encounter a deep leftist judge who just happens to pull the docket for the Dem-rat lawsuit.
Hope my predictions are wrong.
Just for the record: MJK did not drown, she asphyxiated. She was alive for quite some time, trapped and in an air pocket.
Does power of attorney extend to signing a dropping-out document?
Jill could’ve had that letter typed up and she signed it for Joe.
Good question—things get wacky in senile world unless there is a clear power of attorney established before the subject goes off the deep end.
He’s not very smart.
There is ZERO problem with the DNC delegates choosing to nominate someone else.
Zero.
Biden was not the nominee, because the delegates select the nominee, and then communicate their selection to the Secretary of State or Board of elections for each State.
They have not done that.
Therefore there is no nominee you, and all this nonsense about State Laws is just uninformed claptrap.
He is not correct. He’s completely wrong.
But Biden hasn’t been put forward as the Dem. Nominee. The convention determines that.
Only after the nominee’s name is submitted to the Sec. Of State can one start to consider what is required to replace them.
Agreed...I don’t think he’s on any state’s ballots, yet....and now....never to be.
There may be another issue, too, Johnson wants to challenge: Biden/Harris campaign funds.
The assumption was if Harris was on the ticket, she could use the 90M....but that may be challenged.
Twitter comment. 14 million voted for Biden in the primary but the democrat party does not care. It is back to backroom deal. Hillary Clinton be in the running....

Just a handful of elitists are going to pick the Democrat nominee ignoring the will of the people.
Welcome to the Democrat communist party.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: The Democrats are going to go to convention, and they have a couple of problems. Number one, they have NO IDEA who their candidate is, and neither do we! That’s a problem! It’s sort of interesting - this guy goes and gets the votes, and now they want to take it away. That’s democracy!

Another comment from him:
As you are seeing, the Democrat Party is NOT the party of Democracy—they are the enemies of democracy, the party of corrupt insiders, special interests, and the failed political class.
Under our leadership, the Republican Party is now the party of THE PEOPLE
X is full of angry black women lording Kamala’s blackness over those white wimmens.

I want Biden to stay in and see Trump defeat him BIGLEY.
