Any attempts to give it to another candidate or the DNC would be met by immediate lawsuits from the GOP that would effectively tie up the money until after the election. So what are the options? As I already mentioned maybe Biden could spend it himself on generic Vote Blue and anti Trump ads. That might not work as it could also be subject to lawsuits. Another option, refund all the money to the donors, who could then donate it again to the new candidate and/or the DNC. Tricky but it might work. I have no doubt that no matter what, mega donors and regular donors would still flood the democrats with money down the stretch to beat Trump. It wouldn't hurt if they knew they were getting refunds from their original Biden donations. The money in Biden’s warchest can only be transfer to Harris if Joe steps aside.

And in the era of Trump, there are few "fatal flaws." Senility is one. I doubt Newsome's ex wife has any dirt comparable to Trump banging a porn star. I think Whittmer is the strongest candidate. She recently won reelection in MI by a landslide and took both houses of the legislature when she did it. If it has to be Kamala, Whittmer should be her VP.

Couldn't he use the money to buy campaign ads for the new nominee? And if not for the new nominee, just say Vote Blue and flood the airwaves with anti Trump messaging.

E.g. Gavin Newsome was married to the current wife of Don Jr. You don't think she has stories to tell? If Joe doesn't voluntarily step down, there is nothing anyone can do. And if he does, it's Kamala. Anyone else would be madness. Media will find fatal flaw in any replacement.

His debate faceplant was so apocolyptic there is no recovering from it. He would have to suddenly become the Joe Biden of 20 years ago, and that won't happen. I'll take any of those seven candidates. I have reservations about Buttigieg because this election is too important to try and break social barriers. I really like Whittmer, and maybe a moderate African American VP with her. Solidify the women and African American vote. Get the youth, the undecided independents and the Haley voters who Biden has lost irretrievably. Other than loyal Democrats, Biden has lost them forever.

It would reinvigorate the election, draw massive TV ratings and flip the age issue back on Trump. YES WE HAVE A CHOICE.

It's a nice ship. Lived here all my life. I have the means to get a life raft, go to different places, but I don't want to. We two choices; an old sleepy but capable guy and an old criminal psychopathic adulter with delusions of grandeur and his cult. Sigh. I don’t want to abandon ship. It’s a nice ship.

Sigh.
