Oe of them must have read the Amendment and discovered that there are only 2 people who can declare a sitting President unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Those 2 people are the President himself and the sitting Vice President.
Amendment 25 - Presidential Disability and Succession. Ratified 2/10/1967.

4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
The Democrat Party leadership, not Joe Biden, will pick who will be the VP nomination.
