Again, there's no way for "Dems" to do this.

Democratic voters pick Presidential candidates through voting in primaries (and a few caucuses). If a candidate doesn't draw meaningful opposition, they will win those primaries. Nobody of any substance in the Democratic party chose to run against Joe Biden. Which means Joe Biden will be the nominee. Regardless of whether "Dems" "should" pick someone different, if no serious alternative candidate throws their hat in, "Dems" can only have Biden.

There is no mechanism for the grand poobahs in the party to change that fact. They don't get to override the voters. Any effort to do so would almost certainly both: i) fail; and ii) damage Biden's chances in the general.

Unless Biden withdraws from the race, he will be the nominee. No one can "pick" a new Presidential candidate unless someone comes forward to be that Democratic nominee. And no one, save the quixotic Dean Phillips, has done so - because no viable Presidential candidate wants to torch their 2028 run with an ill-advised 2024 effort to oust an incumbent.
