Barring a health issue, I say yes. IMO, it's just too late to make the swap/change at this point. If what I've read is correct (along with my understanding/interpretation of it), a handful of states have a hard deadline coming up very soon, where a Biden is locked in regardless (unless he dies or something). The 25th amendment being invoked has been thrown around by some, but that supposedly can't happen without Biden himself admitting that he's unfit to serve or getting 2/3 of Congress to oust by vote... and I don't see that happening.
Let's say for the sake of argument though that Jill Biden has a change of heart for some rea$on and gets him to reject the nomination... who then replaces him? It's so late in the game, that Kamala would be the only logical choice (and maybe the only legal choice in some cases like the 25th being invoked). How does that help them? She's one of the few people in Washington who may be just as bad, if not worse, than a broken Biden. I just don't see any realistic path to replacing Biden with someone like Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, etc. At best, one of them, or someone else, would have to take the VP slot behind Kamala.
But, I guess the simple, boiled down question is... Does this end up being Trump vs. Biden in November?
