It would require Biden himself deciding to drop from the race.

Photographer: Eva Marie Uzcategui/Bloomberg via Getty Images's dismal debate performance is once again raising the question of whether Democrats will try to replace him on the ticket.: Biden already has almost all of the pledged delegates at the Democratic National Convention because of state primaries he has won.
Democrats plan to undergo their formal nominating process weeks before their Aug. 9 convention, so new candidates would have to emerge before that virtual roll call. To win the Democratic nomination on the first ballot, a candidate needs a simple majority of the estimated 3,933 pledged delegates. Biden has well surpassed that threshold.It was the first time that there has ever been a debate before the convention, which makes the idea of swapping Biden out for another candidate more feasible logistically than if he was already formally nominated.
