Another reason this V.P. selection is so crucial is because, through either mential or physical infirmity prohibiting his going on till November, or because of the more recent sexual/rape allegations by Tara Reade (which by the way are far more credible and documented than those of the Democrat-celebrated Christine Blasey Ford, but are selectively omitted from coverage or discussion by either the Democrat leadership or the liberal media). Or Biden's extensive corruption in Ukraine, China, or domestically, where his sons and brothers have reaped enormous fortunes by selling Joseph Biden's office.

It's entirely possible Biden could end his campaign for any of these reasons, and his V.P. choice could run the rest of the distance till November as the new Democrat nominee.
