I think my point would be clearer if you simply read it as stated rather than tried to find a “gotcha” moment within it.

I expect some of the more spurious cases to disappear and others to be slow walked or to progress with a significantly lower profile if the Democrats are parachuting in someone to replace Biden. I make no judgement as to what I think “should” happen. As I say, it’s terrible optics. In an election that could be lost on a number of votes in the tens of thousands in key states.
