Who would select Biden's replacements? Party leaders?

[lindysalsagal]

Msnbc is debating it now.

1. The only way this would work is if Biden annoints Harris

Otherwise you’ll have a chaotic selection process which the party won’t unify around.

[live love laugh]

2. That won't work either. There'd be all kinds of plots to overturn

the selection.

[brooklynite]

7. If the change happens before the Convention...

…there’s no basis for a lawsuit.

[live love laugh]

9. Not happening. Plus, it would still float up to the activist SCOTUS

whether it was before or after and the uncertainty coupled with SCOTUS activism and the collaborative Republican owned media’s obfuscation would further erode any such process.

14. I think this is the correct answer.

Go with the hardcore base strategy and rally around Biden or pass the torch to Harris and rally around her. And I don't know which is the better approach. We sure as shit don't need a contested convention or a floor fight.

16. Either way, making Harris as prominent as possible starting NOW is essential

If Biden stays in, the more people see them as a team, the better as it would be clear that if needed a transition works.

17. The new Marist poll has Newsom +2 vs Trump while Kamala is only +1...

Newsom would appear the logical successor while Kamala could remain as VP.

18. What's the margin of error? Thanks n/t

[Fiendish Thingy]

21. 3.3% MOE

[emulatorloo]

22. Thanks. Had a feeling it was something like that.

[Fiendish Thingy]

20. A single poll doesn't create a "logical successor"

He and Harris couldn’t be on the same ticket any way.

Same Marist poll had Biden over Trump by 2 as well.

3. Who would pick trumps replacement

when he goes to jail? Oh wait, no.

[emulatorloo]

4. Surely there is some actual news out there they could be reporting rather than speculating/making shit up.

[Hekate]

5. We already did. 14 million of us voted for Biden-Harris and SHE is the VP.

[Blue Owl]

6. Hey M$M fucksticks -- the answer is NOBODY

Because it's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. So fuck off and start reporting on tRump fucking children with Jeffrey Epstein.

[BootinUp]

8. Who cares. Ignore it.

[we can do it]

10. Seriously?!? How did we like our votes being ignored on J6 2021?

[MustLoveBeagles]

11. There's nothing else to talk about?

[bucolic_frolic]

12. There were posts on Xitter the last few weeks

and I paid no attention to who was making them but I am not deluged with nutjobs because I block them.

And this guy was adamant that neither Trump nor Biden will be on either ticket. Posted without comment other than I saw it, I don't believe it, but there it was.

13. Who would accept it

The person is almost certain to lose bigly and end their career. Harris isn't going to be backstabbing Joe, Newsome not ruining his 2028 chances . . . I mean, the deep bench gets really shallow when you start thinking about would lacks enough ethics to shove Joe out and take the nomination. A Joe Manchin is probably who you get in this scenario.

15. Their convention will suck.....

[Fiendish Thingy]

19. The delegates

If Biden releases them to vote for their preference.
