To remove Biden, it's either 25th Amendment or a brokered convention.

Lol, no. I've told you kids a million times that the supposedly left leaning media isn't.

Doubling down on clueless. Fartimus you amuse me.

It's OK son. I know that believing the large media sources are leftist feeds your bias.

She could decline being candidate but given how much she wants it, I assume that is very unlikely.

The party isn't obligated to have her has their nominee just because she would be the incumbent. The only reason Biden would have to voluntarily step aside is because the delegates are tied to him, they arent tied to Harris in any way that Im aware of.

It wouldnt matter if Biden had a trillion dollars. This race isnt about who got the most campaign contributions. No amount of attack ads are going to sway voters.

You don't seem to understand the metrics of predicting election outcomes....

Again the topic is specifically about what options the Democrats have to remove Biden as the candidate. Are you aware of another option for the Democrats to remove Biden other than the two I posed?

The point I’m making is that just because Harris is the incumbent doesn’t make her the nominee per your scenario. Biden could be ousted via the 25th Amendment making Harris the President until January when whoever the DNC chose as their candidate is sworn in after winning the election in November.

Your fake confidence in Biden is not convincing.

If Biden steps down or can't continue, then per the 25th Amendment Kamala becomes President and runs for President in November. If they go brokered convention, then Biden has to release his delegates and then the delegates can vote for whoever they want. Those are the only two options the Democrats have, do you agree?

I'm not sure that is correct. The way I understand it is if they invoke the 25th, Kamala Harris becomes president and fills out the rest of Biden's term but that any delegates who are slated to Biden, and he's not running, would then be free to vote for whomever they wanted, which might not be Kamala Harris.

You might be right, I wasn't positive about that but my understanding was if Kamala chose to run after becoming President via 25th amendment, she would be the candidate.

That would be the logical thinking but even the dems don't want Kamala. If they are going to replace Biden and not choose Kamala, they better damn well pick a black person or the shit is going to hit the fan. And, if Biden steps down and they bypass Harris, Trump should pick a black VP to show which party does blacks right.
