I have a different theory. I think they believed that if Biden steps down or is forced out, they would be without a candidate on the ballot except for one they don't want at all. They know they could never get another candidate on all the ballots and raise enough money to win.
But - if the republicans had the same issue they probably think an exception would be made since neither side had a candidate.
If they waited until after a rep VP running mate was confirmed, the running mate would inherit the campaign funds and sail to a very easy win. If they eliminated Trump before Vance's confirmation, there would be no VP candidate for that money to flow to and the reps would be broke just like the dims. Neither side could get their candidates on all of the ballots so both sides would be screwed.
One other interesting thought - What if Kamala decided to force the issue on Biden and call for the 25th? Would the other people that would have to vote for or approve it say no and keep Biden there (to keep her from being the candidate), or would they be guilted into saying yes because they would be more afraid of the citizens? Frankly I'm surprised she hasn't already tried that.
She will do it. Trump predicted it. And I can’t wait to watch the President Kamala shit show 🤡
"The 25th will haunt" doesn't necessarily mean that the 25th will remove. They may find themselves stuck with Ol' Sniffy despite their best efforts to remove him.
