Let’s say trump died at some point in the next few weeks or possibly after the election

If he and pence won

Would pence be P? Who would be VP?


Pence would be President. If Trump dies after the election and before the Inauguration - Pence would have to consult with the Republican National Convention for an appropriate VP candidate.

If Trump dies after the Inauguration - Pence can just choose whoever because he is no longer a 'candidate'.



I don’t think it’s that clear. I think the most likely outcome is that the RNC gets together and asks the electors for Trump to vote for Pence (assuming they agree on that— they could pick someone else even).. If enough states permit their electors to vote for the RNC candidate, Pence could become president. If state law doesn’t permit that it’s possible the election gets thrown to the House (if no one has a majority) with each state getting one vote (which could be a close vote if D’s pick up a few seats in a few states).

After the inauguration if Trump wins but dies and Pence becomes President then Pence picks a new VP but both House and Senate have to approve them.



Pence is automatically President after the election because he is the second person on the ticket at the RNC Convention. Their fate was sealed from that moment which is why I’m glad Trump got Covid now and not then. The RNC can’t do anything until the election runs its course. Even if Trump dies before 11/03.


I have not seen anything that says this so you will have to provide a cite. The ballots have all been printed so nothing can be done before Nov 3 but not clear what would happen between Nov 3 and the Electoral College voting.

Of course none of this matters if Biden wins.

It's nearly 5 p.m. on Sunday. Do we know an "official" status of how he is, prognosis, etc.?

The WH claims he might get discharged tomorrow but most MDs seem to think he has Covid pneumonia based on the medications he is receiving

Reading between their lines, this is my prediction.

They said he will go home tomorrow just to make DT happy. I do not believe any sane medical professional really thinks he will go home.

Tomorrow, Monday, they will say he will go home Tuesday...

Just my guess.

I assume he is very sick if they are lying so much and asking family members to say they spoke to him on phone and he sounded strong.

He seemed a little short of breath in his latest video, but looks ok.

WSJ reporting he had a positive test on Thursday morning.

I know it’s him, but it sounded like some guy trying to imitate him.

I agree he sounded winded.

There’s a point at which he seems to start to cough but there’s no audio for it— I think the clip was definitely edited

WSJ says Thursday *evening* - not morning.

And he left WR medical just now to drive his sick ass around for a photo op. Didn’t tell his idiot supporters waving flags to put masks on. He is sick.

We love what's happening?

I get it? But he didn't get it before?

Nonsensical.
