Not really. Biden needs another 585 delegates to get the nomination on the first ballot. The delegates he has so far are legally obligated to vote for him on the first ballot. By my count in the remaining primaries and caucuses 1599 delegates are up for grabs. If he can get 37% of those delegates then the nomination is his and there is nothing the democratic party can do about it.

Bullshit!
Interviewer: "She says in 1993 Mr. Vice President that you pinned here against the wall and reached under her clothing and penetrated her with your fingers. Would you please go on the record with the American people. Did you sexually assault Tara Reade?"
Biden: "No. It is not true. I'm saying unequovically it never, never happened. And it didn't. It never happened."

Please read the article that Fast posted:
The smoke-filled room that could oust Joe Biden

So if they wanted to replace Biden (whether with Cuomo, the veep nominee, or some arrangement of both) Democratic leadership could wait until after the nomination to do so. Then, as they did with Democratic vice presidential nominee Thomas Eagleton in 1972, they could ask Biden to step aside, citing his health.

Such a switch could be made any time between the convention nomination and Election Day.

Maybe Badfinger Joe means he only used one.

If you don't see a significant difference between saying "I didn't do anything to her" and "It never happened.." I can't help you.

You had said previously:
At no point do I hear him say "I didn't do anything to her."
End of quote.
The matter at hand was the alleged sexual assault. He said: "it never happened." You can believe him or not believe him. But to try to claim the statement "I didn't do anything to her" is/would have been a stronger denial to the allegation (implicit in your desire for such a response) than "it never happened" is to negate the meaning of words.

Tara Reade has backed out of her planned Fox News interview? Of course, this proves nothing, if true - she could be overwhelmed by nervousness. But she's also now saying she never filed a formal complaint?

It's ok. Tara Reade can be lying...or maybe she's not. Nobody on either side will ever be satisfied with what transpires anyway.
So does it really matter in terms of the election? Not really.
Besides, Joe is as big a danger to his campaign as any third party could ever hope to be...

maybe he did pin her against the wall and reached under her clothing and penetrated her with his fingers but did not sexually assault her.
it depends on your definition of 'did' and 'sexually assault'

Your point is well taken, but I still believe that a denial of not doing anything is stronger.
Having said that, I have little sympathy for people like Tara Reade who bring up their complaints 27 years after an alleged assault happened.
Why our society and the MSM has pushed the idea that "the woman must be believed" in all situations, fresh or ancient, reflects our passion for dirt and destruction. If she didn't have the guts to follow through on her complaint in 1993 what is giving her the motivation to do so now? Yeah, she might feel better for doing so and getting it off her chest. But why carry crap like that around for 27 years, if she's telling the truth. Alternatively, the human mind and memory system can be very creative. False Memory Syndrome and Memory Distortions are just as probable as anything she's saying now. I feel sorry for both her and Joe in this instance.
