They won't, because they can't. The rules don't allow it. There are processes to change the rules, but they're onerous and difficult and won't happen unless Biden has chosen to withdraw from the race.

So...with:

1. The Presidency on the line in and of itself
2. The fact that an underperformance on the top of the ticket depresses turnout downticket and would potentially be painful down to the state level,
3. The ability to replace Clarence Thomas and maybe 1 other
4. The fact that if Trump wins the BAD ORANGE DEMOCRACY DESTROYING HITLERMAO DICTATOR TAKES OVERANDTHECOUNTRYASWEKNOWITISOVER happens (and recall this is the narrative that the democrats have been selling for 4+ years)

...you think that the people who make the rules won't somehow find "exceptions".

Spoiler alert: Yes they will.
