I think the answer is we don't know. Presumably, the party would scramble to pick someone, and they'd have to get them on ballots somehow, and the later in the campaign the more complicated things get since voting starts so early, but I don't think there is any sort of contingency in place for such an event.

In non-presidential races, during Covid we had at least one Republican running for Congress die of the disease either close to election day or right after, but I think it was before the election, and he won because his district was ruby red, and I believe his wife took his spot.
Thank you for the answer. I do remember that case of the Congressman dying prior to the election or soon thereafter the election. It was in the south. A little disconcerting that there is no contingency in place. Of course, the last 8 years, I feel like we live in bizarro world!
