VOA analysis: Under what conditions could the replacement of President Biden as
VOA analysis

President Joe Biden's performance in Thursday's debate, described as uneven, halting and disjointed, has unsettled even his staunchest supporters and raised questions about his replacement as the party's presidential nominee. Democrats.

Although some Democratic lawmakers have rallied in support of the president, saying a poor showing does not mean the end of the run, it is still technically possible for the president to be replaced as the Democratic nominee. But a few things would have to happen to enable a smooth transition.

Even under those circumstances, finding a new candidate would be a difficult process for the party, at best.

First, President Biden must voluntarily retire. He has shown no signs of it.

Earlier this year, every US state held primaries. According to the rules of the Democratic Party, in the current system for preliminary voting, the delegates that President Biden has won have the obligation to vote for him.

If President Biden chooses to withdraw, delegates would then be free to vote for whomever they want during the Democratic National Convention, scheduled for August 19 in Chicago, which would thus become an open convention.

At this point the process would become difficult. Before the primary election system was established, conventions were open and delegates came to attend generally uncommitted to a particular candidate. They met with delegations of various candidates and negotiated to reach an agreement with them.

Democrats would face such a convention in August, with several candidates seeking delegate support and several rounds of voting to choose the nominee. This would probably result in a protracted convention that would continue for more days.

It would also put Democrats under deadline pressure to get their new candidate registered for election in all 50 US states.

The Democratic National Committee had to organize a virtual meeting to register before the convention the presence of delegates who would nominate Mr. Biden. That's because an Ohio state law requires a nominee to be selected before Aug. 7, two weeks before the Democratic convention, in order to be eligible to appear on the state's ballot.

A proposal to postpone the deadline in Ohio, in order to facilitate the procedure for Democrats, was rejected by the legislature of this state with a Republican majority./VOA
