From Business Insider:


Former President Donald Trump is far and away the Republican frontrunner heading into the 2024 election.

He is 77 years old and will be 78 in June.

If Trump dies while seeking reelection, a few different things could happen, depending on when he dies and how close it is to Election Day.

There's no national deadline to file to run for president of the United States. Instead, filing deadlines vary depending on the state and party.

There are currently eight declared candidates, including Trump, on the GOP side. If Trump were to die before January 1, 2024, there would likely be other Republicans who want to jump into the race.

Many states' filing deadlines have already passed, however, meaning that state election officials would need to adjust them to allow new candidates to enter the race.

If Trump died during primary season — which ends in mid-June — some states may postpone their scheduled primaries.

There's some precedent for this; at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than a dozen states postponed their primaries or expanded vote-by-mail options.

If Trump died after the last primary contest but before the Republican National Convention, the other GOP presidential candidates would have to make a case to every state delegation at the convention for why they should be the party's nominee.

And if Trump secured the GOP nomination but died between the convention and Election Day 2024, the RNC would convene to select another presidential candidate.

Funny to see this but not the guy is doing the Weekend at Bernie’s impression.

Also saw a 💩 rag (The Globe?) at the check stand yesterday that Trumps mental capacity was as bad as Biden’s! Cracked me up they’re ok saying Biden is bad if they’re saying Trump is too…but not one about Biden prior….

God forbid we have anything but a clean election where all who choose to vote for their candidate get their votes counted and the results are accepted by everyone or at least a vast majority.

This chick, Sonam Sheth who wrote the Business Insider article also wrote a similar short piece the day before.
She's either preoccupied with death or she just feels the need to write journalistic filler material for a paycheck.


What happens if a sitting president dies while running for reelection

US President Joe Biden turned 81 years old on Monday.

It's a milestone for Biden, but his age has been a thorny issue for the president, with recent polling showing voters are concerned about his age ahead of a tough reelection campaign next year.

And it raises another obvious question: what happens if a sitting president dies while running for reelection?

Well, in the immediate aftermath, we would get President Kamala Harris — who would be the first female president and just its second Black president.

No. Wrong again.
I believe that whatever election irregularities occured did not change the final outcome of
the last presidential election.
(Perfect strawman argument!)
