She needs to gather her youthful energy and get out there and campaign like hell. Like the future of the world depends on it because it probably does.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Let’s hope the convention nominates her quickly. Infighting and multiple votes is definitely not what’s needed right now.

Oh god. This is scary.
I sincerely hope Biden didn't just hand the election to Trump on a platter.

I believe that Democrat bylaws allow him to give his delegates to a candidate of his choosing, though I could definitely be wrong.
Campaign money is another matter. I believe Harris is the only one aside from Biden who has a legal right to those funds. Practicality may force the issue.

Found this, apparently also a state thing:

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

From what I’m reading, delegates are allowed to ‘vote their conscience’ - Biden can’t assign his delegates to a particular candidate.
That said, delegates who were going to vote Biden-Harris are likely to vote Harris-Whomever.

Now that Biden’s mental acuity is no longer a factor, let’s see if the media will focus as much attention on Trump’s.
