minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·6 days agoThe Republican Convention is in July, the Democratic Convention is in August. So what would happen is all the state delegates would get together and vote on who the new candidate should be. If they drop out AFTER the nominating convention, then it gets a lot more complicated. If something happens to the winner of the election after the election, but before the electoral college process, it’s EVEN MORE complicated.
