"not allowed by law"...we all know that the crooks in DC right now do not follow laws. If they want to replace him and give all the money to another campaign, they won't worry for a split second whether or not it is allowed by law.

If they try to swap out Biden, THEY BETTER HURRY.
There’d be a lot more work to do besides just updating all the 3,000+ county ballot info before they are printed.
This is the one thing most people don’t understand.
The Biden campaign IS NOT ALLOWED to simply HAND ALL THE MONEY IT RAISED to whoever replaces him if he bows out of the race.
As a member of the Biden campaign team, MAYBE Harris could claim it. But Newsom or someone who was never on the Biden campaign team? They can’t have that money.
So if it’s NOT Harris?
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO LAUNCH A COMPLETELY NEW PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN TEAM FROM SCRATCH.
I mean that.
FROM SCRATCH. With $0 cash on hand. They have to start the fundraising all over again.
People have this fantasy idea that all the Biden campaign $$$ and personnel would just be swapped over to the new campaign team.
That’s…not how it works.
You are NOT ALLOWED by law to raise money for one particular political candidate and then hand it over to a different candidate. THE FEC WOULD STOP YOU if you were brazen enough to try this.
Wire fraud is illegal. Look it up. You’ll see I’m right.
And that is exactly what this would be.
You cannot raise hundreds of millions for one of your party’s candidates in an election, and then hand that donated money to a different candidate on another newly formed campaign team.
Even assuming Democrats would be dumb enough to try to brazenly hand all the Biden campaign donations to a different campaign, the Trump campaign, the FEC, and a dozen other parties would instantly sue and tie up any transfer of the money in court.
Those of you assuming the money transfer between campaigns would happen FIRST and then Democrats would just lawfare the issue past the election:
Learn how things actually work.
The Democratic Party trying a very massive, very public wire fraud crime in full public view before the 2024 election is not in the cards.
I’m not saying they wouldn’t LIKE to attempt it.
Get it right.
I’m saying their attempt to send the money from one campaign to the other would be blocked, and would be unsuccessful.
AT BEST, it’d take the departing/shutting down Biden campaign weeks, if not months, to refund all the donations so the donors could quickly try to send the money to the new campaign team.
That’d be the only way to not only avoid the civil litigation before the election, but also the criminal wire fraud charges that would result from attempting this.
It is my belief that [they] have ZERO intention of winning a November election because they plan to NOT have an election. It could be any number of things or all of the things at once to cause an emergency declaration that halts/cancels or interrupts the scheduled elections.
This will not age well. People should realize not to speak in absolutes. The democrats will change or ignore any applicable laws or rules in their way and swap him out at any point in the process. What I didn’t see coming was Chip Roy (RINO) helping them out.
Brian Cates basically stated that it is too late to swap out Biden already based on party rules and state laws as well as campaign financing.I completely disagree. The democrats will either change laws and rules or simply ignore them. They have already done this with COVID, election laws and even ignoring SCOTUS rulings.And they could raise plenty of money in short order.I’m certain that they are already getting their ducks in a row.

← This many anons understand the cabal puppets of the deepstate don't play by the rules;
that they will use or create loopholes to get that money to whomever, whenever they wish;
that the feds will shut up and focus on prosecuting imagined crimes of Republicans;
and that the democrat candidate, whoever it is, will be declared the winner of the election.
The explanation will be that people easily gravitated toward someone new and younger, instead of voting for the ancient convicted felon.
And that explanation will be swallowed whole by all non-Trump voters.
(Then the White Hats will do whatever they're going to do, and in all likelihood Trump will still get in office somehow :)

When do Dems abide by the law?
I was wondering that myself. They just take tax money, funnel it through Ukraine, and spend it on anything they want.
The Democrats and the law. Hahahaha 😆
The FEC would stop it?
Is this the same FEC that watched blatant election cheating nation-wide... and did nothing?
So this is just another possible way for them to try to delay the election.
Thank you so much. That was a big question I posed to frens and you came through masterfully.

Maybe June 28th someone is introduced? (after the debate)
That narrows the replacement to a billionaire or cheat or both.
