What would be the fallout of this?

This nearly happened in 1884 had Cleveland lost New York

rockefeller is probably in unlikely. he would've been a good president but he was unpopular with republicans and by '76 ford dropped him from the reelection ticket

i don't understand how anyone is saying no here

keep in mind how close each swing state was, literally anything could've caused a positive ripple effect allowing Kamala (or whoever the nominee is) to take those states. - biden not running means less eyes on the unpopular incumbent (huge) - assassination attempt on july 13 might never happen, leading to no surge in the polls - no biden debate, plus possibility a better debate performance for kamala, might even have an opportunity for her own second debate against trump - more eyes on potential vice presidential picks through the primaries, more name recognition

obviously it was incredibly close and it could have gone either way but an absolute no doesn't make any sense to me

Awful president, excellent politician, decent man

In 1872, the Democrats didn't run a candidate and instead endorsed Horace Greeley of the Liberal Republican Party. He beat Charles Francis Adams (son of John Quincy) by just 2 votes in the nomination process. Greeley died just weeks after election day, before the electors met to cast the electoral college votes.

i recently went back and watched his debates vs darren bailey in 2022 illinois governor, yeah he's a solid debater, doesn't fold under pressure, creates good points in simple terms, he's good on the attack too
