#politics First it was, “Let’s see how the Stephanopoulos interview goes.” Not that good, though Biden didn’t go vacant for seconds at a time. Then it was, “We can’t pick on him during the NATO meeting.” Then it was, “Let’s see how the press conference goes.” More flubs, train of thought losses. Now, it’s the Lester Holt interview to see if Biden has what it takes. Goal post keeps moving, and time ticks away until it’ll be too late to get an alternative who can beat Trump.
@johnldeboer From the perspective of actually meeting state requirements to get a replacement on the ballot, we're probably already too late in several states. If we even tried to replace him it would give the GOP an opening to sue all over the place for "illegally" placing the new candidate on the ballot. anywhere he has already been certified as the candidate.
@Pitizenlyn State lawns won’r kick in until Biden is the official nominee. That could come in advance of the convention, though, since Ohio law states that a candidate can’t go on the ballot unless he’s nominated before August 7. So Dems are planning to do a roll call vote to nominate him officially in time to meet that deadline.
