Joe Biden is removed from the ticket one way or another (heart attack gun, Fredo Corleone boat ride with Obama, jangling set of keys in front of him all the way to Delaware, etc). His handlers write a statement in his name saying he has been proud to serve this country but now it is time to transition to a new generation of leadership to finish the job he started and end the next-generation threat that the fascist MAGA-right is trying to kill the country with, which is why he supports his Vice-President Kamala Harris to take over the job and become the nominee. All of the Democratic Senators and Representatives and Media who are dealing death-blows to Biden's corpse right now stop and the news story becomes about the new Democratic nominee and what her plans are. She comes out with a major media blitz talking about her experience in the White House and how her background in the law as a prosecutor means she can convict Trump at the ballot box. Now we're back to talking about all of Trump's criminality instead of Biden's dementia. She barnstorms the country talking about Project 2025 and highlights all of the ways they're trying to turn the country into a fascist hellhole. Now we're talking about how fukked up the Trump Administration would be instead of Biden being bled out by his own party.
The DNC can now feature all the Democratic All-Stars like Whitmer, Newsom, Moore, Shapiro, Beshear, etc coming out and displaying their own specific talents and how they're all united in their support for Kamala instead of wasting their time on the backfoot defending Biden. Kamala ends the convention by nominating Beshear as her Vice-President. Now we have a news cycle about how Kamala will have by her side this bland white man and his god-fearing family from a deep red state to calm the fears of racist whites and black folks who are guided by those fears.
The Harris/Beshear ticket is the youngest ticket in the history of either party, drawing a stark contrast with Trump, the oldest candidate in history with old ideas of bringing America back to past instead of a bright future. The fundraising spigot gets turned back on and they are able to use the existing Biden/Harris war chest to blanket the airwaves with the Harris/Beshear message for 4 months. They are able to infuse the Democratic Party with youth and vigor, bringing back into the fold a significant portion of the moral abstainers because Kamala was not on the forefront of Biden's Israel policy and was one of the first major Democratic officials to call for an immediate ceasefire back in March. Harris is free to adopt her own signature policies without being too burdened by Biden's inflation record.
Come November, the Democratic Party is completely unified behind the Harris/Beshear ticket, and has been hammering Trump on his weak spots of criminality, abortion, Project 2025 for months. Largely driven by anti-Trump sentiment, the Harris/Beshear ticket breaks the Biden/Harris record and receives the largest popular vote win in American history. Trump is defeated again and we inaugurate the first female President in American history, continuing the Obama legacy.
