On election day, only the electors for the electoral college are chosen, of which there are 538. What would probably happen would be that the Democratic party leaders would debate on a replacement candidate, who would probably be Joe Biden. They would then have to convince the electors to vote for Joe Biden and in the end, Joe Biden would probably have become president.
This is not a certainty though. It is possible that some sort of compromise unifying candidate might come out of the chaos, capturing the majority of electoral votes to become president.
