What happens if Trump doesn't make it to election day, does Trump votes automatically go to Pence?

Like lots of things in the United States of America, it's complicated, every State has its own election rules that feed in to the electoral college and hence the election itself. There is no consistency at all despite it being an a national election for position in the Federal Government.

What happens to a candidate if they die sometime before Election Day?
The timing of a death matters.

If the death happens prior to Election Day, then whichever is the relevant party organization — the Republican National Committee or the Democratic National Committee — would consult with its members and choose a new nominee, under slightly different rules established by each party.

If the death occurred earlier than October, sometime shortly after the conventions, the parties would have needed to update their ballot lines in every state. But with ballot deadlines now passed, ballots printed, and early voting underway in many places, that’s not feasible.

"What’s most likely is that the election would take place on time, with the deceased or incapacitated candidate’s name on the ballot, and then there would be a question if legislatures would allow presidential electors of each state to vote for someone other than the deceased candidate," wrote Richard L. Hasen, a professor of law and political science at the University of California-Irvine.

Senior White House admin that says CNN's claims that Trump is having trouble breathing as "false and downright disgraceful"

I see all the mainstream media are going with the trouble breathing narrative, Jesus if we all knew it came from CNN

The left, as shown by Derek and half of twitter is showing why people have left the Dems, if only they had sympathised this could've worked in their favour.

I definitely think healthcare might become a big part of the political landscape in the next few weeks though.

Cheers for the explanation Gazuty.

I've never wished it upon Trump but I always thought that actually catching it would be the only way he would ever take it seriously. I'm not even sure if he will now, as they say, people die of the flu.

I've been called a conspiracy theorist for believing America is on course for a Civil War, Kaff also touched on it the other day & now its being talked about in msm. I also think that we will see it spill over into the UK but I won't elaborate, I'm not giving Kai the chance to meme me with tin foil hats

Well if a senior white house official says it then it must be true

Tested positive one day, minor symptoms the next, breathing difficulties is a bit far fetched at this stage.

Who knows for sure what his condition is but you can't on the one hand call CNN 'fake news' and on the other take what a senior white house official says as gospel. They hardly have the best track record when it comes to telling the truth under this president.

Remember Boris Yeltsin? The Russian's often released videos of him signing bits of paper just to prove he's alive, working and running the country but it took him about 30 seconds just to sign his name.

Thats because he was 90% proof most of the time
