    She’s been vice president for the past 4 years, so she already meets the legal requirements for office, and Republicans haven’t ever challenged it.

    The DNC is next month, and the party has every right to make her the nominee if Biden isn’t running for reelection.

    I don’t see any actual legal battle here. There’s absolutely zero legal precedent for blocking a party nomination before the convention or any of the relevant state deadlines pass.

    They’re just running their mouths about this switch-up being improper because they’re panicking. They spent the last 4 years priming their base to care about one thing and one thing only: getting rid of the “Biden Crime Family”. Now that it’s down to the wire, Biden isn’t their opponent anymore.

    They’re in the bargaining stage of grief, since Trump’s chances of winning have pretty much been killed, especially after introducing professional wet blanket J.D. Vance as Trump’s running mate.
