I know that Heritage is a boogeyman right now, somewhat deserved. But as someone who has read more of their work product than pretty much anyone: this is not a well-oiled machine of an organization in 2024. They are less capable than ever at actually pulling off something like this.

Seems like as it’s abandoned its role as a think tank, in favor of advocacy, Heritage has sacrificed its ability to impact policy

I thought that the ballot access in pretty much every state is for the Dem party and until he’s formally nominated Biden himself is not officially on any ballot.
