↪ With just four months to go until the presidential , chances that the president would step aside now are exceedingly remote – but that hasn’t stopped the speculation

Online political betting odds that would end up at the top of the presidential ticket this year tripled to a one-in-four chance last week

@JSharp1436 Surely there is a procedure to replace a candidate at any time during a presidential race? Imagine if any such candidate was in a plane crash, or RTA, or suffered a seizure/stroke? Would it be the Vice-President or another that steps in? Given the stresses with the court case around Hunter Biden, and the awful CNN debate performance, smart Democrats should be looking at an alternative already, and have it done. The world cannot afford Trump as king.

I completely agree, Harriet, and yes, they do have procedures in case of a disaster, that's true.
