Vice President Kamala Harris is the only White House hopeful who has qualified to compete for the Democratic presidential nomination, the Democratic National Committee said in a statement on Tuesday.
Although no other major Democrat had indicated any plans to challenge Harris, the DNC’s announcement officially clears the path for the vice president to seek her party’s nomination uncontested, just nine days after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and created a vacancy at the top of the ticket.
Harris will now face a vote by the party’s national convention delegates, who will officially ratify the nominee in a new online voting procedure adopted by the party last week. Voting will begin Thursday and will conclude on August 5, the release said. Votes for anyone other than Harris will be tallied as “present.” According to an Associated Press survey, Harris was the overwhelming choice of convention delegates to replace Biden as the party’s standard-bearer and face Republican former President Donald Trump on the ballot in November.
Under party rules, a candidate qualifies to compete for the nomination by submitting a notarized declaration of candidacy, meeting legal requirements to be president and securing the electronic signatures of at least 300 delegates, with no more than 50 signatures from any one delegation counting toward the 300 minimum. The DNC announced that 3,923 delegates had petitioned to nominate Harris. …

Three days left to block Kennedy via the NJ Secretary of State.
Incredible isn’t it?
Joe Biden won the support of the vast majority of voters in the primaries, and thus had the most pledged delegates at this convention.
With joe’s withdrawal we had originally been told that all of those delegates were free agents and free to vote for anyone.
Now we’re told that there’s only one official candidate that they can vote for at the convention. And if any delegates have the audacity to vote for someone other than the one official candidate ,,their vote simply will not be counted.
The jokes write themselves, as far as how the Democratic party is hardly democratic in their own internal procedures.

“Democrat Party”, there’s no such thing, and nothing “democratic” about that party.
I thought DT was the “danger to democracy”. They body-slammed it with this.
“He accuses the White House of orchestrating his deplatforming. He is suing the Biden administration and media outlets including The Associated Press, The Washington Post, the BBC and Reuters for alleged censorship.”
True dat!
If you’ve seen any of my other comments/posts, I have NO LOVE for the RINO Quislings in the Uniparty.
None, whatsoever. A POX on all their houses!
The Democratic Party is democratic in the tradition of the German Democratic Republic, Democratic Cambodia and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
as disgusting as it is, we are witnessing the suicide of a major American political party
as Ineligible Harris is dragging down-ticket D candidates down with her
(which is why I still think that the DNC Puppetmeisters will, perhaps at the very last minute like at the convention, find new fresh faces that haven’t disgraced themselves with communist.nazi political “statements” ... maybe new people from the worlds of sports and entertainment.. or?)
those in charge of the DNC do not want to lose control over “our” federal government, there’s just too much money to be made running it for themselves
President Trump proved he was an enemy of democracy by forcing the Democrats to act like Stalin.
:-)
when he dropped out, Biden did not give other candidates
much time to raise the mucho campaign money needed.
Biden had $240 million in his war chest.........scattered
around to the DNC, PACs.....he himself had $95 million.
He gave Harris $91 million of that for her campaign.
That scared off a lot of wannabes.
Where’s Robert F Kennedy Jr? He’s a Democrat, right? Why doesn’t he get a shot? (Uh, no pun intended). Okay, maybe he wasn’t in the primaries. What about Dean Phillips? Democracy, my ass…
Wrong. Kamala Harris will win the popular vote. The Electoral College will be close. It depends on who will win MI, PA and WI.
DemonRATaly coronated without a vote by the subjects.
we disagree
but no matter because so long as the DNC’s ETM (election theft machine) is still firmly in place, she will “win” the key states
if the GOP does anything now it must get that D-ETM machine shut down
getting a true, honest vote in Obama’s “Transformed Amerika” has to be top priority
If I was witnessing these same actions from a leading a political party that was in another country I would say that they were intentionally setting up the country to have no choice than to declare a civil war. The Democrats are utterly abandoning democratic processes in this election and have done so on many other issues like illegal immigration etc. Does the Deep State want to have a martial law declaration? Do they want to have the most extreme mass social violence the world has ever seen?
All of this is happening for one reason only.
Because enough voters from one party have gotten pissed off enough over a period of many years to nominate a true political outsider in Trump.
And that threw the entire political establishment of both parties into disarray.
The fake wrestlers can’t compete with a real wrestler who actually represents the people. And has a following of voters who see him as a true representative, and not just someone they’re voting for because they think they’ll be a little less worse than the other guy.
The actual plan was to get the Trump voters to dump him for DeSantis. That didn’t work so they tried the indictments.
And it was only after they saw that the indictments were going nowhere that they knew they had to get rid of Biden.
Let’s not kid ourselves, both parties are still strong. They’ve got rat finks populating every political office in the land, from dog catcher to Senator.
Luckily, the presidential primaries are the one place where the combined weight of fed up voters from across the country can actually make an impact.
8 years later, we are continuing to see the rippling effects of that.
Hi
So where’s that primary challenge in the D party?
I thought I read elsewhere that Kennedy IS suing and/or making a stink over this.
Without the complicit Enemy Media giving him any airtime, it’s not happening. Right?
What a flippin’ MESS! I mean, don’t get me wrong; I WANT to see the Socialist Democrats eat their own, but seriously? Are ALL the Political Science Majors DEAD? If anything, I can’t believe Bernie is keeping his yap shut over this situation...though all of his ill-gotten gains were due to Socialist Democrats in the first place so, Meh!
Yeah, I get that, too. Doesn’t make it RIGHT! Doesn’t make it Constitutional.
But, whatevs, Right? Anything goes. The Republic be Damned!
