If either died or were permanently incapacitated tomorrow...

My casual drinking is your alcohol poisoning.
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.

My concern regarding the Biden ticket is his health and mental capacity. He’s old and I am concerned about having one of the most liberal senators moving in as president.
I hope the Republicans hold the senate. Regardless of what happens with the White House - I believe it’s important to retain a balance.
I’m still unsure which direction the presidential race will go - but it doesn’t seem there is a true safe choice. If Dems lose - there will be more riots and unrest - and more distractions to impeach Trump. If the Dems win - there will still be little concern over law and order - but maybe they will riot less?
For me personally - the riots are a big reason to not vote Democrat as to not reward the Dems siding with the rioters and being anti-police.
I’m offering my thoughts on what might happen based on the events of the recent past.
Harris would take the most conservative party hack ....like Manchin
While most politicians have spent their time thinking about high-level stuff like foreign policy, taxes, etc; the Left, under our noses, has been working from the bottom-up radicalizing young people in college-campuses and via the internet (and now they want to radicalize K - 12); this bottom-up radicalization is textbook Marxist operation.

^ amen, papi
Per a web-search:
"If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the three candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each state delegation has one vote. The Senate elects the Vice President from the two vice presidential candidates with the most electoral votes"
So it seems the House elects the President and the Senate elects the VP - so Biden would become president since the Dems control the House
I knew that was correct, but I decided to do a little research to get more detail.
Although there are more Democrat House members overall, it's weighted toward Republicans with regard to the number of states. For example, California has 53 House seats (46 Dem / 7 Repub) but the state only gets one vote in choosing the President. It's similar in NY, NJ and Illinois - the opposite in Texas (solid Repub) and Florida has a slight Repub edge. Two other heavily populated states, Michigan and PA, are even (7/7 and 9/9, respectively) so it would be interesting to see which way those would go and how they would decide their state's vote. Among the remaining 42 states, the Repubs have a 24-18 advantage, so even if MI and PA went Dem, Trump would almost certainly win. With regard to the Senate electing the Vice-President, each Senator gets one vote, so it's likely Pence would remain as VP.
Neither process has been triggered since John Quincy Adams was elected President by the House in 1824 and Richard M. Johnson elected VP by the Senate in 1837. Back then Presidents and VPs were often elected more independently of each other, which is virtually impossible today.
Fun facts: John Q. Adams was elected President as a member of what was then called the "Democratic-Republican" party. (Lol...the irony in that name.) He later became a "Whig" after the Whig party in the US was founded in 1833. The Whigs were also a longstanding party in European countries that were known for opposition to absolute monarchy and support of the parliamentary system.
Just watch.
Classic tactics of the republican party.
