If something were to prevent the republican presidential candidate from participating in the election, what would happen next? Who would replace him?

I am not wishing any ill by my question, just a thought that crossed my mind.
This guy is advanced in his age. He must be under tremendous pressure.

Some crazy times were in. Gets "better" everyday. Can't imagine what's next. I just bear in mind that the truth is stranger than fiction.

He's 72. He looks like he's in very good condition for his age. No one's arguing his age, but I don't think he'll be dead within in a month

I doubt that myself. I am just wanting to know what the scenario would be if he had to drop out for any given reason.

the republican party would name a replacement.

What would happen if the situation were reversed and for some unforseen reason the Democratic candidate was unable to run?

Yep, a replacement would be named and although Biden would be a good choice would the DNC choose someone else? Interesting.
