But his points are very valid. It is IMPOSSIBLE to replace Biden, assuming you can even get an agreement as to who should it be. "Due to timing and election processes, red state Republicans are already poised to refuse to put anyone other than Biden on their state ballots. Like here in Georgia, there are over twenty states run with a Republican supermajority." "Red state Republicans are standing ready with malicious compliance with regards to their state election rules and are prepared to not put any other candidate other than Biden on the ballot. Biden quits? No Democratic candidate on ballot and we know the Supreme Court will uphold their decisions."
I hadn't thought about red states refusing to put a replacement on the ballot, but the Democrats will not have an official candidate until after their convention. Right now Biden, like Trump, is just the presumptive candidate. My understanding is that a state has to put the official convention approved candidate on the ballot. Biden will lose to Trump. It's just a fact that Dems have to accept. I'm going to vote for Biden, but I live in a red state that will go for Trump so my vote doesn't count. I don't believe Biden can win all the swing states and this assassination attempt will strengthen Trump significantly. The only chance Democrats have is to put up someone people can get excited about. Biden is not that person.
Biden will lose to Trump. Keeping him on the ticket is political suicide.
Replacing him THIS LATE IN THE ELECTION YEAR is political suicide.
