I have asked a lot of questions in the other thread, thank you for answers so far.
Just one more question which I think is fitting in this one:
If a party (Democrats in this case most likely) is under the impression that their candidate wouldn't have a chance by this point, can they change/replace him/her?

Thank you

Biden has almost all of the delegates to the Convention pledged to him.  So to replace him, he would have to withdraw of his own volition.  Then, the delegates to the Convention would vote on a replacement.

I think it would be great TV to see 4 or 5 candidates trying to get the nomination at the Convention.  Lots of drama!

Would be fun to see. When was the last time there was an open convention? 1968?

I think the pressure to step down is only escalating and if donors start pulling away, then he will have no chance but to throw in the towel. Interesting checking the betting markets and Biden’s odds of being the democratic nominee are just about the same as Kamala’s. The ship is sinking fast.
