Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

If both Biden and Harris don’t run again in 2024, would Joe Manchin be a possible nominee for the Democrats?

No, because as soon as he’s out in any way shape or form they are never getting that Senate seat back. He may be causing them problems now, but not having a seat locked in when you probably think your side is in for a lot of pain is worse.

Manchin is also the most influential he has been for some years. It's not everyday when the DNC has to suck your dick in order to get bills passed. No way he's giving up that position of power now. All the benefits, none of the responsibility.

Maybe and ideal GoP ticket would be a Trump/DeSantis tag-team?

I just dunno if DeSantis will play second fiddle.

DeSantis is doing good in Florida and I'd prefer to have him stay there, but if Trump can't find another politically obscure dude like Pence then I wouldn't mind him. From my knowledge I think they could tolerate each other.

Trump needs to get a VP that is on his side, believes in the cause and can use the VP seat to go into the Presidential Race after Trump's second term. We need more than 4 years to clean up the swamp.

I heard somewhere that Trump and Desantis can’t be on the same ticket because they are residents of the same state?

Is that a rule, or political math?

Biden will be able to drag his carcass into 2022. Any further than that is asking a miracle. Even if he somehow summoned the will power to survive to 2024 he's going to look like the crypt keeper and his brain will be leaking out of his ears by that point.

Although him dropping a loaf in his pants and keeling over at a debate sounds like a tantalizing prospect for the son of a bitch his handlers will put a lid on him so hard he'll be dead for all intents and purposes.

Dems just don't want to admit that they are whipping a dying horse around the track.

For everyone who keeps talking about/hoping for a Trump/Desantis ticket please read the consitution, specificaly article 2, section 1, clause 4

"The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves."

Trump and Desantis are both resident in Florida meaning that ticket would not be able to receive electoral collage votes from Florida, no way they would handicap themselves like that.

Tulsi Gabbard is Left Wing but she is not Establishment. At least not remotely as much as the rest. She went off script and had talks with Assad. She defended Kyle Rittenhouse. She's one of those old school Left Wingers who you can actually have conversations with and puts her money where her mouth is. No way the DNC lets her get anywhere near candidacy until the current Old Guard are well and truly out. Republicans kind of similar but Trump was able to get in because the Dems and Establishment supported him because they thought he would lose over a more established Republican candidate.

The dems and dnc best hope and pray that soros and the old guard are pushing up daisies by 2024, if they wish to win without cheating. Like @teriyakiburns says, Trump was a dem at one point and swapped sides because the left shifted.

Tulsi is, and would be, popular with the left, the right and the centre. She appeals to everyone; a female president with sound values, respects the military, hates the left wing, wants some gun control and isn't white. Hell, i wonder how many of the RINO voters would go for Tulsi over Trump.

Not as many as you think. Tulsi has a reputation for not playing ball when the Uniparty wants her to. Being able to think for yourself is a sin to them. It's why she 'retired' in 2016 from her DNC position, was basically informed she either quits or they primary her.

Correction: I had the thing she retired from wrong, it's an early morning after a late night.

Tulsi also fucked up hard by mercing Harris in the one debate she was allowed to go to.

That's the problem, though. It's not a completely clean political slate.

The Dems might not have a viable candidate against Trump so far, but Trump is currently the only one who can get enough Republican voters to get off their asses and give their party a win in 2024. The other GOP options are either career politicians most people don't trust, outright RINOs, or so low-energy and spineless as to bend the knee to the media barrage that would come after them the moment they declared their intent to run.

So without Biden the Democrats have to scurry to find someone. Let's face it, even with Biden they better scurry. But without Trump the GOP is in a much worse position. They can only win if they manage to harness this populist sentiment going through their base. A populist movement requires a charismatic leader who gives zero fucks, and there's an incredibly short list of people in the GOP who fulfill even the minimum requirements for that position.

Trump/Tulsi ticket for 2024.

If Iowa is red then North Carolina should be too.

Also what are the odds that Virginia and Minnesota could be swing?

More points to Tulsi then.

The pendulum will swing back the other way before 2024. Two years in [current year] is a long arse time. Just look at what changed between 2019 and 2021. The uniparty may (or may not) be well and truly dead, or on its' last knees, by 2024, and she will be the best candidate they have. As it stands now, she's the best anti-Trump defence the left have.
