Well the silver lining is if Biden kicks the bucket before January 19th Harris can still be President. He's 81, so there is a chance it could happen.
Being a lame duck President for a month or two isn't really conducive to doing
anything
. This is generally the point where Congress digs in its heels and waits until January.
Also, Biden's basically a meat puppet with a hand up his ass at this point anyway, so if the Dems want to push for anything last minute, they don't need Harris in the chair, they just need to find a ventriloquist and wiggle their fingers.

good ol boy JD will become president. he's like trump but coherent. jesus help us
The thing you need to fear isn't if JD becomes President. The thing you need to fear is how Trump would die.
Natural causes? Controllable, though there'll still be conspiracy theorists who claim he was poisoned.
Accident? Or worse, assassination? Now you've got a martyr, and he's more powerful than he ever was alive. And can inspire people to follow in his footsteps long after he would have otherwise been gone.
Dems should spend the next four years praying every single night for Trump to stay healthy. And thinking about all the things they did wrong this time around, and planning how they intend to win next time. Or they'll just keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
Hint:
A large part of it is admitting what THEY did wrong, not just blaming everything on Trump being charismatic and voters being stupid. That ways lies another Republican winning in 2028. If you don't acknowledge your own flaws, you can never fix them.
