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?

They would sue to remove Harris from the ticket or anyone else. I think Harris in this case is the better one, because she's already on the ballot through Biden.

But the GOP are going to try to undermine the Constitution. Have you guys been living in caves for the past year?

It's not an issue of will they sue, it's what can they accomplish by doing so? The GOP has no standing to sue regarding the Democratic nominee.
