I like the implied threat of DJT just sitting there as SoH daring Obama and his buddies to remove Biden. Optics are fantastic. He doesn't even need to do anything, just sit there.
Neither Harris nor Biden have to be removed from office to remove them from the 2024 ticket, which takes some of the fun out of the presidential succession game.
Correct. Per changes in Democratic Party rules they can replace nominee with whoever they want after Convention. However, from a practical, public, propaganda, power, and narrative perspective, there IS a benefit for an "incumbent President" replacement to be the Party nominee. Personally, I believe Biden will refuse to stand down, and Dems will attempt to assassinate him and blame it on "far right" and Trump. They were caught attempting to do this in 2021 prior to inauguration, allegedly. Trump being SoH might actually prevent another attempt like this on Biden, OR DS may try and use it in attempt to frame him (possible trap being set by DS?).
Look at 1968 Democratic primaries pre-RFK assassination to see how this might play out: Johnson appears to have been put into submission as incumbent POTUS not running for re-election (unheard of), but possibly interfered in election by telling CIA to take out RFK who had incriminating information on Johnson's crimes and had just become the presumptive Dem nominee (CIA hit allegedly). 2024 Democratic Party National Convention may be rhyme or repeat of 1968 (and it is in the same location, Chicago).
