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

Thank you for explanation.
In the actual case it is/was kind off predictable that there could be complications.
But if it would be another candidate and he has health reasons for example or something else which would even lead the candidate to pull back his candidacy, what would be the most logical thing for the respective party? Do they have to take this steps which you described again? Months or weeks before the election? That's defeat by default in my opinion. Or does the second placed nominee has to be a 'substitute' in that case?
Sorry, if I sound like an ignorant but I seriously have no clue

Our (DEM) best hope at this point in time is that the Clintons take action and do what they do best .... make people disappear that have an adverse impact in their lives.

Biden could be a hero and get out now, or he can continue on and get crushed in November.   Perhaps we can convince him to get out of the race now and prepare for representing the Dems on the 2028 Presidential Ticket.    HA !!!
