Unsettled and unsettling legal question: does the United States currently have a president elect or not?
The constitution and amendments have a plan for what to do if president elect dies…but it appears one doesn’t become president elect until elected. And the election hasn’t happened yet. Remember, electoral college hasn’t voted yet, and their votes won’t be counted until Jan 3-6.
If Trump dies before becoming president elect, governors of the states could, in theory, send electors to the college for the runner up or anyone…if you assume governors would send electors according to their own political party, Harris wins 291 to 247.
