A major conservative activist group is preparing for legal battles in case the Democratic Party chooses to pull President Biden out of the running before or after he becomes the nominee.
The Heritage Foundation, one of the United States' most prominent and well-connected conservative activist groups, is laying the groundwork in case a sudden switch-up in the Democratic roster sparks a legal war.
"We are monitoring the calls from across the country for President Biden to step aside, either now or before the election, and have concluded that the process for substitution and withdrawal is very complicated," Executive Director of The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project Mike Howell said in a statement.
Heritage has already identified multiple states in which a switch away from Biden before or after the nomination could mean serious trouble for the Democratic Party.
"In a separate statement, the Oversight Project warned," If the Biden family decides that President Biden will not run for re-election, the mechanisms for replacing him on ballots vary by state.
BIDEN'S INNER CIRCLE SILENT AS PARTY REELS FOLLOWING 'EMBARRASSING' DEBATE PERFORMANCE. Heritage points out that many states - including swing states such as Georgia, Nevada and Wisconsin - might not allow a replacement on the ballot.
Other states have restrictions on timing and the reason for withdrawal from ballots, while others have no procedures on the books, making the prospect of switching Biden out an even more perilous legal minefield.
