Democrats Question Replacing Biden

I was worried the author of this piece, Gregory Korte, was horrifically biased. But I have to give him props for gingerly stepping around verbiage which is hard to write without sounding like a hack.

My read of the DNCs bylaws implies the delegates pledged to Biden will go to whomever Biden picks, if it's not himself. But I think the point the author was making was the decision of who would replace Biden would be more of a political nightmare than an administrative / procedural nightmare. Who do you want to replace him on the ticket? Harris? Newsome? Whitmer? Pritzger? -- Whitmer and Pritzger may be decent candidates, but they don't have nearly enough national exposure. Harris gives off a Hillary-Clinton-esque cold vibe, imho. Newsome is sort of like the Boogey-man for the right, though the people he seems to upset probably are already going to vote for Trump.

I'm also thinking of what happens if Biden is elected but incapacitated before the inauguration. My guess is the VP would take his slot since they were already elected. But if people disliked Harris, would this factor into their calculation. Could the Harris bow out at the last minute to be replaced by Newsome, Whitmer or Pritzger? That would be unlikely, but it's fun to think about.
