WASHINGTON -- Four days before the Democratic National Convention opens in Chicago, the party's proposed platform names the wrong candidate for president.
The Democratic platform — essentially a document outlining goals and policy positions the party supports — has not been updated since a draft was released July 13, eight days before President Joe Biden abandoned his reelection bid and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
The committee in charge of compiling the platform worked for more than a year to draft it, including leaving room for key voices to comment and make changes earlier this summer. But the language set to go to the floor of the convention to be approved by delegates hasn't been modified since before Biden left the race. And the rules body is not scheduled to meet to update the platform before the convention begins Monday.
Harris hasn't released a detailed list of her policy positions since taking over the top of the Democratic ticket, though her campaign aides have suggested she no longer adheres to some of the more liberal positions she took during her first run for president in 2020, including endorsing a ban on hydraulic fracturing. The policy platform, which normally spells out a party's positions with heavy input from the presidential nominee's allies, currently doesn't provide insight into her direct views on key issues, either.
The platform is nonbinding. However, some Democrats criticized Republicans for failing to be more transparent while approving their party’s 16-page platform during the GOP convention last month in Milwaukee — including modifying the document to more closely adhere to former President Donald Trump’s positions on abortion and other key issues.

The Democrats play by their own rules (they make them up as they go along) so I would not be surprise if by the end of the Convention Biden, Harris or Walz will not be their choice but some wild card they have kept hidden for the past two years.
The southern border issue was her baby so to speak.
She is best remembered for saying Don’t come.....Don’t come
Since then maybe 7 million have ignored her and gained illegal entry via said southern border.
She’s already laid a whopper
She is good at being Laid.
