If Biden refuses to step down, there isn’t a lot for the DNC to do. Biden has the nomination locked up with pledged delegates. And I seriously doubt we are going to see a mass defection at the convention. So, short of him waking up dead one of these mornings (always a possibility for an 81 year old man), we’re riding the Biden ship all the way down.
Who knows, maybe Trump will do us all a favor and have a massive coronary in the next few months. Goodness knows his eating habits aren’t the best. But, my money is on the Biden-Trump rematch no one wanted.
While folks like Schiff have some pull in the DNC, it’s the delegates at the convention which choose the nominee. Party leaders have spent years ensuring that pledged delegates stay pledged delegates on the first round of voting. And it’s Biden’s team who chose those delegates. So, as long as Biden says he’s staying, he’s got this locked up.
