Marten Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 15 minutes ago, Musketeer Gripweed said: Good news, but we know he will still drag it through the courts if he can. Soreliest loser ever. 14 minutes ago, Salvo Montalbano said: Exactly. The Speaker was talking about challenging things in courts etc but since he's not been officially nominated yet (Biden was only officially the presumptive nominee) then ordinarily they'd have no case to answer. However, with the lunatics that are in the Supreme Court these days... By no means I'm claiming to be an expert on this topic. But I am quite a geek on stuff like this and I listened to a podcast in which they discussed what's going on and the legalities of it. They said that Biden had delegates from the primaries pledged to vote for him at the Convention, they officially decide the nominee at that vote. As Biden has withdrawn, these delegates have become uncommitted and can vote for whoever they like. Had he refused to step down, it would have been a legal minefield for these delegates to bypass him and vote for someone else. Not saying it can't be done, but it would be tricky. Now it seems pretty straightforward from a legal perspective. But indeed, with Trump and the current Supreme Court you never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, we don't want any "experts" muddying the waters with their "facts" and "expertise". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of "experts" I've just checked that font of all knowledge... Bet365. They have Trump 1/2, Harris 2/1. It'll be interesting to see if the odds change in the coming days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 1 hour ago, Musketeer Gripweed said: If Trump loses this now, will he have a legitimate claim to fight the decision in courts for months due to Biden withdrawing this late? No. The Democratic Party nomination system has, for this precise reason, never been legally binding. Unlike the Republican caucuses, the Democratic primaries result in non-binding votes. Admittedly, as was shown in 68, when people don’t hold to their allocated pledge, chaos ensues. But in theory if nobody holds to their allocated vite, it should be plain sailing. Now, given how political the legal system is in the US, I would be surprised if somebody didn’t try that card. The tears and snotters will be hilarious, but Biden should have done this months ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll probably give up and snuff it on the spot then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
