    Are you supposing that the party could settle on a non-Harris replacement for Biden before their convention??

    Getting delegates to agree on someone other Harris in smoke-filled backrooms in Chicago is unwise and unlikely, but at least within the realm of possibility.

    Getting them to agree before they’ve even met sounds like pure fiction. And that’s what would be necessary to meet the Aug 7 deadline. Kamala Harris will be on the Ohio ballot no matter what happens in Chicago.

      So his delegates are not pledged to Harris, they aren’t required to support Harris, her name isn’t on a single ballot in the country, Biden’s name isn’t on a single ballot in the country, and no one has officially been nominated. You’ve offered no proof to the contrary.

      Whether you think a change is likely before ballots are finalized was not my question, merely whether or not you had proof that it’s impossible.

        I think it’s impossible to replace Harris before Aug 7.

        Even the staunchest proponents of running Newsom (or whoever) hope to accomplish this in Chicago.
