What happens to the election if Biden dies before it?

  • With considerable time til the election
  • Not enough time to change the election

Assuming Biden wins on election day, what is the procedure at various stages throughout the election if Biden dies?

  • After election day but before votes are counted
  • Votes counted but not certified by Congress
  • Certified but not inaugurated
  • Any other stages I’ve missed

    Trump is 3 years younger. Biden may outlive him by 10 years for all we know.

      he may. but the last debate strongly suggested otherwise. someone asked why do people think that biden will be first to die and this is why. because he seem in significantly worse shape.

      he looked like he was going to die before the debate ends. i absolutely don’t believe that, if elected, he will survive whole term.

      (and that is ignoring the fact that having a pulse is quite low threshold for presidential candidate)

        Don’t know about you, but I vote for policy, not a person. But you do what a lot of Americans do, vote for a personality, and that’s why Americans seem significantly dumber than the average world citizen.

            Your error: Voting for a person, not policy. There.

              i meant error in facts, not your inability to understand topic of the discussion (this isn’t discussion about policy), or the fact that i am not an american, so i am not voting for anything in us elections.
