Even before President Joe Biden’s long-speculated withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, allies of former President Donald Trump floated the possibility of suing to block Democrats from having anyone other than Biden on the ballot in November.
But election administration and legal experts said the timing of Biden’s exit on Sunday makes it unlikely that any Republican ballot access challenges will succeed, with some calling the idea “ridiculous” and “frivolous.” Democrats are on safe legal ground as they identify a new standard-bearer, they say, because the party hasn’t officially chosen its nominee. That typically occurs with a vote of delegates at the party’s convention.
“It’s ridiculous for people to talk about ‘replacing Biden.’ He hasn’t been nominated yet,” said Richard Winger, a leading expert on state ballot access laws and the longtime editor of the “Ballot Access News” newsletter.
it’s hilarious that they’re proving in real time just how pants-shittingly scared of harris they are.
“keep the old man in!!! we don’t want to go up against a younger woman whom we can’t publicly criticize for not being white!”

“DEI” is the new codeword for the “n-word” so they say it all day every day…
Imagine thinking you’re being “smart” by not being openly racist, by being openly racist in your accusation that “this person couldn’t possibly get here by their merits, they’re here because of their skin color.”

Just play dumb and say “DEI? What does that mean”, and they’re guaranteed to say something racist just explaining it in their own words.
They’re already publicly criticizing her for not being white…
