creating a void (b/c Kamala Harris is not going to be considered) might allow Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to slip into the slot because nobody can decide on a replacement and time is running out?
A lot of horribles if Joe Biden is forced out.

(5,516 posts)If Biden withdraws, it'll be a brokered convention, if not Harris it'll be someone who gathered support over several ballots. We (Americans of both parties) did this for 100 years, it usually ended up being the guy (they've all been guys) who has connections and a faction with enough appeal to be a supportable alternative. that's not the guy who roots for Trump and polio.
