But not a bad daydream
Comment on If Trump and Biden both died today, what would happen?

If Biden died, his VP, Kamala Harris would become the president–the first woman president, as it happens. Everything would pretty much go on as it was.
Trump’s death is entirely irrelevant to this scenario, and not useful to consider.

Never really thought it like this before, but would the entire chain move up? Like Speaker comes VP or would Harris get to select a new VP?

Harris appointments a new VP. Majority of Congress has to approve that appointment.
Check out Article 25 of the Constitution for more details.
Ford appointed Nelson Rockefeller to be VP after Nixon’s resignation.

25th amendment describes this process. Harris selects a new VP. Both houses of congress confirm by majority vote (good fucking luck).

You’re only addressing what happens with the current administration. OP’s question as stated opens the door to discussion about the 2024 election, the MAGA movement, the state of fascism in the nation etc.
