Biden considering dropping out (Update: Biden drops out)

It absolutely will be a clusterfuck, because there’s zero chance of the entire party rallying behind Harris immediately. Every two-bit congressman looking to generate name recognition for themself and put themselves into consideration for a Cabinet office or ambassadorship is going to declare that they’re running for president and the convention is going to make 1968 look like a picnic in the park.

Per the DNC rules, to be placed into nomination a candidate must submit a petition signed by at least 300 delegates, no more than 50 of whom may come from one state. A delegate many not sign more than one nominating petition. That’s going to rule out any two-bit Congressmen and definitely Republicans.
