    Mike Johnson has literally already made it clear that in these circumstances he intends to CONTEST the new candidate being allowed on ballots.

    We live in the fucking stupidest ass timeline.

    The time for dropping Biden was before the fucking primaries and now we’re walking right the fuck into a Republican trap.

    Fuck me, someone just kill me now so Trump can’t institutionally fucking murder me.

      Mike Johnson is (as usual) full of shit. The DNC is still a month away and not a single state ballot deadline has passed.

      Biden isn’t even the nominee yet that’s one of the reasons it was important this happened before the DNC. Before the nomination this is no official presidential candidate, ol’ Mikey Poo-Bear is yaking out of his ass. Mike even said “some legal impediments in at least a few of these jurisdictions”, he’s just posturing for attention. No more threatening than a bantam rooster when you walk in his coup.

      from the article

      Election law expert Richard Hasen wrote that there is “no credence” to the notion that the Democratic Party could not legally replace Biden on the ticket, as he is not the nominee yet – the nominating process generally takes place during the Democratic National Convention.
