As for whether Biden will in the end be replaced is up to a few<br>
things. First... can they pump enough amphetamines or whatever the<br>
military is using these days to keep pilots alert for 48 hours at a<br>

and Second... can they come up with a viable alternative candidate. As<br>
you say Michelle Obama keeps coming up, and it is not without<br>
precedent to "draft" someone into running, seemingly against their<br>
will.</blockquote><div> </div><div>It's not without precedent to want to, even to try to. But to actually succeed? The effort to draft Colin Powell was much more organized and persistent than the current calls to replace Biden with some undefined person, to the point that Powell received 3 electoral votes in 2016 against his will. But without his consent, such efforts could not get him on the ballot or into office.</div></div></div>
