How would replacing Biden actually work? Here’s the process as more Democrats call for him to pass the torch

Shortly after its conclusion, House Democrat Jim Himes joined the growing list of elected officials publicly calling on Biden to step aside.

“We must put forth the strongest candidate possible to confront the threat posed by Trump’s promised MAGA authoritarianism. I no longer believe that is Joe Biden,” he said in a statement.

Even some of Biden’s aides are reportedly starting to think it may be time to go, and have started to brainstorm ways to convince him to do so. The campaign is also reported to be conducting head-to-head polling between Trump and Harris.
