jordanlund , 4 days ago There's actually a novel that describes the process and it actually depends on when it happens. If Biden wins the election, but dies before the electoral college votes, it's a free-for-all. The electoral college can vote for whoever they want. If he dies AFTER the EC vote, but before it's certified, there's a different set of problems. If he dies after the vote and the certification, the VP becomes President. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People%27s_Choice_(novel)
