I do not wish harm or illness to befall either presidential candidate, but if one OR the other were to be unable to continue running, how would that affect the race and who should be the new running mate?
If Kamala were to take top position on the ticket, it would be a landslide for Trump. The best thing she could do is take Pete Buttigieg as a running mate, but that would not prevent an election night blowout.
If Pence were to lead the GOP ticket, I would like to see Nikki Haley as his running mate. I think he would keep the voters that Trump had, and add more who were personally repulsed by Trump.
Either scenario would be a big win for the GOP. As it currently stands, I predict a popular vote for Biden, and an electoral win for Trump. There will be weeks and maybe months of lawsuits and rioting, since democrats to not believe in respecting the results of the election and a peaceful transition of power. See 2000 and 2016-2020 for proof.


Biden wins the election; Republicans hold the Senate by one seat.
