What happens if Biden dies before the next inauguration (see inside)?
What happens to the election if Biden dies before it?
-
With considerable time til the election
-
Not enough time to change the election
Assuming Biden wins on election day, what is the procedure at various stages throughout the election if Biden dies?
- After election day but before votes are counted
- Votes counted but not certified by Congress
- Certified but not inaugurated
- Any other stages I've missed

Also consider what happens if Trump dies at any of these stages - he's almost the same age so all else being equal he's almost as likely to die during the same period
One definitely seemed more likely to die than the other 😂
I bet they already have the conspiracy theories prepped for when Trump dies. It would be interesting for someone to make a Reddit post asking for MAGA to share their theories that someone is trying to terminate Trump, so that when he eventually passes from natural causes, we could pull that up as relevant info to see why no one did anything beforehand to prevent the attempt or if the conspiracy that emerges wasn't stated before it happened.
Bonus round with the upcoming (small) bird flu epidemic:
What if both die days before the election due to a sudden illness?
I guess it’s Harris vs whoever Trumps running mate becomes
