That's a probable outcome, but it's not the only possibility. Neither he nor unpledged delegates have an obligation to endorse Harris.

I think it's nuts to NOT think it wouldn't be a good thing. If it hasn't occurred to people already, we already live in a circus. The excitement of this unprecedented scenario would yield widespread free viral ad time. Democrats are generally united on the objective: defeat Donald Trump. The only thing the convention would be about is: "Who can best defeat Donald Trump?" Which is perfectly fine.

So I'll repeat what I wrote elsewhere. I think many are missing the opportunity for Democrats to seize the narrative:

• "We listened to voters who were unsatisfied with either candidate, a large majority who said age is a real concern for them."
• "Joe Biden stepped down for the American People to let a younger generation lead."
• FREE VIRAL MEDIA TIME for months on end about the fresh face of the Democratic party.
• A complete lack of developed right-wing talking-points to disseminate.

I'll be honest: I think we're absolutely fucked if we stick with BIden. He's behind his 2020 stats in pretty much every way. THAT election was decided by 40,000 people across 3 contested states. Prospects were poor PRE-debate (Hence why Biden took the debate in the first place), and they're even worse now. So I think the risk is worth taking.
