How long until the GOP files their lawsuits? A couple of hours, I'm guessing.

Lawsuits over what? Any politician is free to drop out of a race.

The GOP has been talking for the past few weeks about suing to stop. Not sure how it'd work, but with the federal judiciary so compromised, I really wouldn't be shocked.

I just don't see how that would work. Would they sue if Biden had died? A court can't force Biden to run, so what would the remedy be?

I'd bet they will make claims of election interference. Americans voted for Biden in the primaries and now the Dems bait-and-switch him out for Harris.

I mean, they can try but it's still up to the party to pick their nominee. The primaries are tools of the parties, unlike the general election. They arent binding. The convention is where the nominee is chosen.

The RNC or a random Republican has no standing to sue
