WASHINGTON — Election Day is just around the corner. We have gotten all sorts of questions about policies and outcomes.
One of the most interesting questions was about what happens if either candidate dropped out of the race right now.
Question:
What would happen if either presidential or vice-presidential candidate were to drop out of the race before Election Day?
Answer:
Basically, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Republican National Committee (RNC) rules state if a presidential or vice-presidential nominee were to drop out of the race now, the leadership of the parties would decide who replaces them.
Our Sources:
The Democratic National Committee, Republican National Committee, and John Fortier from the Bipartisan Policy Center.
Process:
To answer this one we went straight to both parties’ bylaws of the 2020 Convention Rules of Procedure. The procedures were agreed on during the Democratic and Republican conventions.
“(The party leadership) would choose someone, there would be a question of, 'could you get that name on the ballot?',” election expert John Fortier said. “We are very tight now and that would depend on state laws. Some states would let you, others would not.”
Fortier explained that while the RNC and DNC would get their choice now, the process changes as we get past Election Day.
“The first period would be after Nov. 4, but before Dec. 14 when the electors of the Electoral College meet and vote,” he said.
Fortier explained that during that time period the party can try to put a new candidate forward, but ultimately the electors would hold the power to decide who gets that spot. The final scenario would happen after Dec. 14. In that case, Fortier said Congress takes over.
“If they saw there were electors cast for someone who died or left the ballot they might keep the votes or they may throw them out,” he said.
Suffice it to say, it would be a complicated process until Inauguration Day.
In our time it has not happened since the 1972 election. Democratic Candidate George McGovern chose Thomas Eagleton as his running mate. Then after the convention, Eagleton resigned from the ticket. McGovern and the party leaders chose Sargent Shriver to replace him.
Hillary is going to be Democrat nominee, without ever having to campaign, debate, or put her name on ballot. Cool!
not sure about that.
right now, Trump is calling Hillary an amateur and Kamala the most liberal senator ever.

How Grief Became Joe Biden’s ‘Superpower’
Two tragedies, 43 years apart, have defined the former vice president’s life. Have they also made him a more formidable presidential candidate?

Biden’s life was so storybook he was worried. He was married to a woman he had met and instantly fallen for on a beach on spring break in the Bahamas, a homecoming queen and a dean’s-list student. They quickly had three healthy children, two little boys and a baby girl. And on November 7, 1972, after just two years on a county council, after a race in which his sister was his campaign manager, one of his brothers was his chief fundraiser and his wife was “the brains” as well as his top “adviser,” as he told a local reporter, Biden won a seat in the United States Senate—besting a Republican icon in the same year Richard Nixon trounced George McGovern. He was two weeks shy of 30 years old. “Sounds preposterous,” he said at the time, “me a member of the Senate.” The day, though, after his election, he voiced to his wife a sinking feeling. “It’s too perfect. Can’t be like this,” he said, according to the reporting of Richard Ben Cramer in his classic tome, What It Takes. “Something’s gonna happen.”
The truck carrying corncobs broadsided the Bidens’ white Chevrolet station wagon returning from a trip to pick the family Christmas tree. It sheared off the left rear wheel and drove the back door into the back seat and pushed the car some 150 feet into a thicket of evergreens. Neilia Biden, 30, and Naomi “Amy” Biden, 13 months, were dead on arrival at the hospital. Joseph “Beau” Biden III, 3, had a slew of broken bones, and Robert Hunter “Hunt” Biden, 2, had head injuries that doctors feared might be permanent. Joe Biden rushed from Washington where he had been interviewing prospective staff. Today, going on half a century later, the intersection of Valley and Limestone roads in Hockessin, Delaware, has a Starbucks, a Great Clips and a Walgreens, and traffic lights for every direction. On the afternoon of December 18, 1972, it was a rural crossroads, surrounded by mushroom farms and a liquor store. The sun set on a crash site littered with broken glass and index cards with phone numbers of voters and paraphernalia touting Biden for Senate.
“Joe had it all,” his sister would say.
“We were all just, like, ‘Nothing could stop us,’” said Sears, Biden’s friend from high school, “if you know what I mean—and yet suddenly … ”
“The first few days,” Biden would write, “I felt trapped in a constant twilight of vertigo, like in the dream where you’re suddenly falling … only I was constantly falling.” He wondered how he could go on. “I began to understand how despair led people to just cash it in; how suicide wasn’t just an option but a rational option. But I’d look at Beau and Hunter asleep and wonder what new terrors their own dreams held, and wonder who would explain to my sons my being gone, too. And I knew had no choice but to fight to stay alive.”

one reason why they have the misleading polls
The polls had to show Biden up by a large margin and Trump losing bigly so they could deflect the Hunter Biden news that they knew was coming.
With Biden apparently up in the polls, they can say they Trump is working with Russian to smear Biden so he can gain in polls.
If they had shown the polls like they really are, Trump would be ahead and they couldn't say Trump was losing and needed to do this.
