Political science professor Matthew Wilson explains what the process would look like if Joe Biden were replaced as the Democrat's presidential nominee.
I thought they said he was perfectly normal just a few weeks ago and now they’re all changing their mind lol, this is hilarious, the Democratic Party is a joke
@@JaySelvanto so is the Republican party by having a convicted felon running for president. This from the party that claims to be the party of law and order
Not sure how moving away from a candidate and owning up to his inability to lead is wrong. To me it means they can pivot unlike the Republicans that side with a guy who acts like a clown and they double down on him.
@@faithallen1169 I agree. But I still maintain that unless he agrees to do it voluntarily, it won't happen. It may be that his family would need to persuade him to drop out, and I just don't know if they would do that or not. But at the end of the day, its up to him. If he won't agree to drop out, nobody can force him to.
Re General Election, Kamala Harris would definitely stand a better chance against Trump she is leading Independents by 4 points versus Trump, whereas Biden is lagging Trump by 10 points with independents. If the Democrats don't replace Biden, Trump is looking at circa 333 electoral votes in November. Democrats who think this election is still about Trump (and/or running with that) are delusional and their own delusion will take them down

Excellent interview, both questioner & answerer (haha!) I miss this kind of relevant, unbiased journalism - all should aspire to this. Just the facts, except a bit of opinion at the end, when specifically asked for.
This is an unbelievable self inflicted wound , Biden had a week to prepare and rest for the debate and why didn't his staff postpone the debate due to laryngitis
Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light; And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout, But there is no joy in Washington -Bumbling Biden has struck out.
This could pave the way for a new nominee, as longtime DNC member Jim Zogby proposes a new selection process.This proactive move would allow the party to prepare for the election and secure a decisive victory over Trump. Thumbs up for a blue vote! President Biden, stepping aside instead of stepping down, demonstrates a character seldom seen, with a pragmatic and proactive approach. You will be honored for saving your legacy and the nation.
Please answer this question: What does "pledged" mean. What if someone changes their mind and goes against their "pledge"? Would they face any consequences? If not, then this pledge is unenforceable..
Theoretically you are correct however the delegates are chosen on the basis of their political reliability and any delegate who goes rogue would be in serious trouble with the party going forward.
The campaign donations can’t be transferred to another candidate. That’s what I heard on another video, so I don’t think they will replace him. Unless it’s Kamala maybe.
Biden resigns - Harris gets the war chest - she is POTUS for a few weeks - OPEN CONVENTION or BROKERED CONVENTION - the most capable candidate is the nominee - donors/brokers flood war chest
Just sneak in his stepping aside as one of those executive orders he loves signing so much. That would bypass his family because they say he's competent...... 😂😂😂😂
One problem with the analysis here, specifically the final question posed, is that you likely lose the Jewish vote completely if it IS a ham sandwich for the Democrat candidate. But, ... and I say "but", for so many people, a ham sandwich sounds pretty good. I literally had a ham and cheese sandwich just yesterday and I was pleased with it.
This is NOT an election to see who will be Senior Class President. It ain't easy to replace either candidate this late. Nobody really knows how the election rules and various laws would impact such a decision. Point is, it's not supposed to be easy to switch horses this late in the race!
Do hope the US political parties have excellent presidential candidates for the US citizens to choose from who values the lives of the people in the world. Ordinary people of every country wants to live their lives in peace.
Not that dems follow the law but, I don't believe it would be legal to transfer his political contributions to another person?? Not that jill would allow that, it's HER money
This process will be tough but this correction is necessary. The president has been using a teleprompter since last week and has had a few rallies since then. I don't think he can really campaign.
Everyone seems to misunderstand what a political party is. It is a private organization of supposedly like minded individuals who pool their resources in order to support candidates in elections. They do not have to choose a candidate by what would be generally regarded as a democratic process. The primaries (which were originally referred to as “presidential preference primaries”) were simply a way in which the party honchos could get a sense of the electorate’s sentiment. The actual process of nominating a candidate was relegated to the smoke filled rooms . While this may seem totally undemocratic, I’m not sure that it actually wasn’t a better way for the political parties to function. The alternative that we see today is where the primaries function as a tournament to determine the nominee. This results in the nominee chosen by a small number of voters who in the case of an open primary are not even members of the party.
They lied for years about Biden, his family knew he had early dementia in 2019…he has only declined since. The Democrats are now the party that doesn’t respect the Constitution. I am a lifelong Independent and the Democrat party is a disgrace. Not to mention how Biden has ruined our country in 3.5 years.
The idea of an eighty year old incumbent running should be forever thrown out. If you have to be at least 35 to run, you should have to be under 70 to run.
That’s because the others aren’t known nationally!! Only Kamala is and she is unpopular. It is HIGHLY LIKELY that a moderate, popular governor would be more likely to win after they become known. Think Beshear, Whitmer, Shapiro, Moore.
Biden is aging very rapidly... He has deteriorated hugely in the last year or so, for all to see at the debate... We need a President who can actually lead the US... Not Biden's minders making the decisions...
@@rft0920 I support Biden, but he will not be the nominee... He will deteriorate rapidly in the next 6 months, especially given the pressures and stresses of being President... I am concerned he will even last until the election, let alone for another four years!! He needs to be replaced...
Might be nice if you had thought to ask what would happen if Biden were nominated and THEN withdraws. That's an important scenario, for heaven's sake. (Answer: It doesn't automatically go to the running mate. The Democratic National Committee has the power to fill a vacancy on the national ticket after the convention under party rules, and the Republican National Committee would either reconvene the national convention or select a new candidate itself.)
Joe will lose..so hard to see him lasting 4 years.. Gavin, Gretchen, Josh, Hakeem .. Gavin would've cleaned Trumps clock the other night.. the right candidate will change the Polls!
@billydandthehoodoos - Newsom would absolutely crush Trump in a debate. That guy can talk. I saw him spin the California stuff so hard one time that I wanted to pack my bags and head for the Greyhound station. Seriously, Newsom is the only real choice here.
Joe is going to lose...and NONE of these Democrats can handle Trump. He is not easily intimidated. California is a hot mess...and again, Trump is not easily intimidated. Gavin Newsome has broken California by the $20 minimum wage that's killed so many businesses. Love him or hate him, we had it great when Trump was in office!
How can Republicans replace Trump? If we ever hope to restore balance to the Supreme Court, we must ensure every eligible voter turns out at the ballot box this November and elect a Democratic super majority in the U.S. Senate, Congress, and the presidency.
Democrats cry when they don't get their way. The Supreme Court is supposed to be apolitical. The Democrats are done...and Trump is going to walk right back into office. Why would they need to replace Trump? Love him or hate him, he's going back to the Oval Office.
The. Supreme Court followed the Constitution….the spin on the propaganda news is just that…spin and propaganda. The Democrats don’t like the Constitution anymore…they want to censor and pass unconstitutional laws that violate the Constitution.
The INFORMED California Democrats hate him, he would put the final nail in our country’s coffin. It would be a disaster…might even cause Red States to break away from, the US…Democrats since Obama want to get rid of our Constitution. He wants to “fundamentally change the US”, and he was a Marxist activist in college.
What lies? Biden lied more than Trump. The Democrat propaganda is spinning it, Trump May exaggerate things, but Biden outright lies. Biden has lied his ENTIRE CAREER.
Both of the contestants are total morons. But no matter who wins office (or the House/Senate) - and the same goes for ALL Western societies. Tragically, big business/WEF and associated cretins, have completed infiltrated ALL speheres and stripes of governments, who wilfully implement the agenda to dismantle borders. Of course, Trump says he will build a wall to keep out the interlopers: but he claimed that was to be the case in his term. Alas, he never kept his promises.
He's not - he promised to be a one term POTUS - to be a bridge to the next generation - then he went back on it because power corrupts and he has a big stupid ego - and also he has dementia - this isn't church - we need someone competent
A Sanders A O C Ticket would kick the Dump off the stage and be a powerful message to the youth ,independents,intellectuals and union guys and on and on.

From Asia , there are so many political and news commentators are jumping on a bandwagon to remove Joe Biden from being the Democratic Presidential candidate . Is there any GUARANTEE THAT JOE BIDEN WOULD LOOSE IN THE 2024 ELECTION , And being defeated by Donald Trump ? ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤😂😂😂
Considering that all races must have been around for the same timeframe raises the question of why a few of them (maybe a dozen) have advanced to become civilisations, which spawned great advances. Alas, sub- Saharan Africans aren't in the mix. More to the point, in every city that they control in the US are sociological cataclysms.
