Democrats can not possibly swap out a candidate who still has the primary mandate so close to the election. The new person would have no credible claim to leadership and would face massive questions about legitimacy. Besides anything, such a move would be perceived as weak and imho that is the cardinal sin in US politics. Sp no, I see no way.
Although I agree, if Biden fails miserably, you will see desperation in the political ring. Politics and control have become toxic. Nothing surprises me anymore. If he tanks, watch the scramble of both the left and the media. Even if he talks gibberish, you will hear a very bent take from the left-wing media praising him. Just watch.
EDIT: You will also see the right-wing media go crazy in a call for victory.
