Yeah Biden can resign after the convention and the DNC has the sole authority to replace him on the ballot. I assume that would bypass the primary and state filing and fee requirements, but who knows.
Democratic Party rules governing vacancies
See also: Democratic presidential nomination, 2020
Under Article 2 of The Bylaws of the Democratic Party, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has the responsibility to fill vacancies in presidential and vice presidential nominations between national conventions.[3]
In the event of a vacancy on the national ticket, the chairperson would call a special meeting. Under Article 2 § 8(d), questions before the DNC, with some exceptions otherwise outlined in the charter and bylaws, are determined by a majority vote of the DNC members who are present and voting by proxy. The bylaws also state that voting to fill a vacancy on the national ticket must proceed in accordance with procedural rules adopted by the Rules and Bylaws Committee and approved by the DNC.[3]
Though a new 2022 rule is almost certainly set up to allow Biden to step aside without the need for a JFK approach.
Not true, they would swap via convention rules. Still is problematic because it robs people of choice still
