No chance the DNC chooses her though, right?
I think she's the only candidate eligible to inherit the donations that went to Biden, so she's got a serious chance based on that alone.
Well, ”A candidate’s authorized committee may transfer unlimited campaign funds to a party committee or organization” [0], and the party committee can spend as much as they want on candidates, so donations are unlikely to be an issue (unless the Biden campaign splits from the DNC and doesn't give any money back, which I don't see happening).

It wouldn't be a problem problem, but it might annoy them enough that they decide not to bother trying another candidate. And what would the parliamentarian say?!? NYT:
Yeah, that's one of the biggest, if not the biggest reason. It makes for a smoother transition for the canpaign since she's already on the ticket and everything already has her name on it
