What point? The point that the Democratic Party is obligated to run the person Joe Biden hand-selected 4 years ago as his VP as its presidential candidate? That point? I don’t agree!

Harris has a much better case to represent the choice of voters than the delegates. Harris received 81.2M votes from the American people to be Joe Biden’s replacement. Additionally, all of the 2024 Biden primary voters did so understanding Harris was his 2024 VP pick.

So, those voters who voted in the 2024 understood that Harris would replace Biden in the event of an medical emergency for Biden in 2025 (or later in 2024). Harris has, uniquely among Dem alternatives, an actual case to represent the choice of 2024 primary voters

Cool — I am looking forward to her making her case for the next month! She will probably win at the convention! She will be a much stronger candidate if she wins against Newsom and Whitmer than if she is appointed by acclamation.

This is identical to Team Trump insisting he deserves a mulligan for AZ, PA, MI and GA’s electoral votes because he didn’t like the results.

They’re both instances of trying to count votes you don’t have. Simple as.

Please show me all the voters who picked Harris to be the nominee for president.

Literally the voters elevated Harris to the Vice Presidency. That’s how presidential elections work.

Is the vice president the same as the president?

They’re literally together on the ballot as a single ticket. Surely you understand how that works.

Not if Harris remains in office? Her name wasn’t picked out of a hat, she won her position. You can’t ignore that just because it’s inconvenient.

She was hand selected by Biden to be VP. He won the election. Now he’s not running for re election. She never won the nomination to be the president. She was selected by Biden to take over if Biden were to die in office.
