The ballot space belongs to the party. They would place someone else on the ballot.
Would that come down to the DNC and RNC convention and delegates or not so?
I'm only asking because I sure do not know.

It is a timing thing.
If the candidate dies or withdraws before the convention, the convention delegates pick the candidate.
If it is after the convention, it is a somewhat unprecedented situation.
I believe the theory is that the party picks the new candidate but there are limits to how successful you will be airdropping a new candidate in as opposed to moving the VP candidate up the ballot, simply because no one fricking voted for the person airdropped in.
