Just asking, if he dies right now obviously Harris become president. Does that mean she gets the nomination, or is there a super quick primary to nominate a candidate?
More likely he'll just be even more underpowered for the rest of the campaign. This may be the moment to replace him with someone younger, but I wouldn't trust the Democratic Party to act at all quickly or decisively. After all, it's only the long-foreseen loss of democracy and freedom to a fascist autocracy that's at stake. One shouldn't act hastily.
