What happens if Joe Biden or Donald Trump drops out of the presidential race? ( www.ft.com )

jordanlund , 2 days ago

The Republican Convention is in July, the Democratic Convention is in August.

So what would happen is all the state delegates would get together and vote on who the new candidate should be.

If they drop out AFTER the nominating convention, then it gets a lot more complicated.

If something happens to the winner of the election after the election, but before the electoral college process, it's EVEN MORE complicated.

See this fun novel from 1995:
