Only kamala has access to the campaign funds in the biden campaign. If the pick another candidate that money goes away. Unless of course kamala picks a veep and then steps out of the race, then the veep candidate has access to that money.
My guess is that a large part of the convincing done, if there was any convincing at all and this wasn't just a coup, went something like..... "We just put a bullet through Trump's ear, and you don't move near as fast or as much as Trump and if you get zapped in office, there goes the pardons for your entire familu".
