US Election & Presidency

Mike Pence has tested negative.

Pelosi, that nasty Democrat woman who looks like the offcuts on a Californian plastic surgeon’s operating room floor, isn’t looking too well apparently and has symptoms and is awaiting the outcome of her test.

We are still awaiting the test results on dopey Joe Biden he was tested first thing in his bunker.

It's still to happen on November 3rd, no matter what.

Normally the VP would step in for an incapacitated President but that could lead to Pence being elected with Trump recovering... If you think things are crazy now just chew on that one for a while!

Trump either fights on from the Whitehouse, assuming he's physically able to do so, or he steps aside / gets removed under the 25th Amendment. Then the Republicans would either have to let Pence run for the top job or swiftly choose another candidate.

I thought if Trump was incapacitated then Pence would get the job of fighting the election, I would imagine choosing another candidate would likely be a big risk move. I doubt there would be a suitable candidate who would be any better.

Imagine him on Election day fighting the election in his PJ's

i think if he is 25thed then thats it because if pence was to win an election then the republicans would rally behind him and the fact that a 2/3 majority of congress would have to vote to say he is fit to hold office again would be needed and i dont think they would have him back esp if they have a 6-3 in the supreme court

I wonder if that's how he is in the Wh right now.

Reagan famously said in 1984 ; - "I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience,” he quipped during his debate with Walter Mondale and he was 73 at the time. Trump is one year older at 74. I think many Americans wish they had a president of Reagan's standing in the White House now. And Reagan probably was one of the most respected Presidents on both sides of the Atlantic and with Europe.

he has mild symptoms which means its prob worse than that

also, pelosi's fine.

That's incorrect. It can be delayed. Congress can change the date of the election if they want to.

The thing they would have to bear in mind is that presidential terms end every 4 years on 20 January - and this is written in the constitution. So unless the constitution was changed, which is rather improbable, there has to be an election before 20 January come what may.

The other thing they would need to consider is that postal ballots have already been sent out and some people have already returned them.
