I will vote for whoever the Dems put up, as I would have voted for BIden. It’s fantastic that he stepped down, cause he is clearly unfit to serve. He should probably step down from the Presidency right now, asshole.
It should be the objective case because it’s an object of the verb “put up”, not because it heads the phrase “whomever the dems put up”. Who/whom has to do with its role in its own phrase, not the larger sentence/clause. Contrast “I will vote for whoever wins the dem nomination.”
