    No way they do it before the election.

    Their argument for the last 4 years has been “you may not like literally anything about him but he’s the only person that can beat trump”

    Sticking in another equally unpopular person with the same policies might even get your average blue Maga to feel a sense of confusion.

    He’s gonna be head of the ticket and be replaced immediatly after the election is called (assuming he wins).

    Like votes happen Tuesday, election is officially called Friday, kamala replaces him in time to make the rounds on the Sunday shows.

      I’m sure this is what the Dems are planning and hoping for at the moment, but to get to that stage they still have to win the election and therefore must have some confidence that the current ticket can beat Trump, which is the part that surprises me.

      Obviously the reality is that those with enough power to do anything about the situation don’t really care who wins either way, it’s not like their lives will be negatively impacted by it.
