Given all that is going on, they'll wait until the EC or Trump concedes. Plus, they might need her vote... Newsom should probably have someone ready to replace her that is ready to hit the ground running.

is that common practice?

CA doesnt have a special election or anything the governor picks someone from the party to sub in

I think so... I'd have to look it up.

Although I'm not sure if that triggers a special election or something the next one

if Biden swears in and remains less than 2 years in power, Kamala can only run once

I think newsom just picks one

Those replacements rules are always weird

It is probably usually done sooner, but usually the projected loser concedes to remove all doubt about the transition.

They usually step down almost immediately

If memory serves me correctly

To the people saying that Kamala has not stepped down because she is waiting for inaguration.... Obama stepped down mid November. So what gives?

I don't think that's true... LBJ could have run for reelection, but chose not to.

Clinton may have been a "we can't even open that bag of worms" type of scandal so the only thing pressing at the time was uprising pressure and a blue dress. The People are more ready for scathing reality, but possibly not. This heist has been brutal. Only happy to have noticed since a year ago.

21st amendment

Usually the election is just done. This time we gotta rule out regular lawsuits, extreme kraken lawsuits, electoral theft, certification shenanigans, delaying the electoral college, military coup then its finalized

No chance of two cycles after and if he croaks?

2 years or more of a POTUS that takes over without an election counts like a full term for term limits according to the 21st

My math was wrong... I was thinking Lincoln for the timing of the assassination.

was checking yesterday

Yup its like a 10 year max

@Dedkraken, you just advanced to level 7!

however

Yeah idk if there’s a strategy to her holding on to the seat or not because it seemed strange. Thought maybe she had announced something. I was just curious😁 2020 has definitely been a strange year! Thanks for the responses though. Night all!

Cya

Night!

there's a twist that if Trump was sworn in January and decided a snap election British style for legitimacy reasons, well you cannot do that in the US, if you are sworn in you have used your two terms

unlike if you come from VP

Or they knew what they were doing and took the risk anyways...why not after having the entire arena for 4 yrs already, regardless of who is in office.

McCain conceded the election.

yea Kamala sort of concedes there's still a chance that there is no transition essentially

which interestingly, is not reported

Reported how? 😅

if you report the news then you would say that

instead of going along with the unprecedented "Office of the President Elect" theatre

So she', s hedging her bets? Keep senate seat in case Trump wins?

Trumps said before the election hes the first potus to not commit to a peaceful transfer. That's been reported. Nobody knows how far he is willing to take this nonsense.

bookies give Biden currently 90%~95%, that's impartial and objective enough for me

people putting their money where their mouth is

Not even close.

That’s another thing conservatives are doing that is weird. They are acting like people weren’t called president elects until 2020
