If Biden dies tomorrow, the election would be lost. If we switch out Biden for somebody else, the election would be lost. If people decide to not vote because they aren't dazzled by their Democratic candidate, the election is lost.

If Biden dies after winning the election, Harris takes over, and we still have a Democratic President.

Those are your outcomes. Pick one.

So if Biden bows out and lets Harris run the ticket then sounds like you get the same result as him dying.

She can't be attacked for being old and sleepy, she could probably even whip Trump's ass at a debate because she has a functioning brain.

She has the bonus of having access to the current election funds that Biden has because she is on the ticket already.
