Kamala Harris closer to being nominee as DNC approves early virtual roll call vote
CBS News ^ | July 24, 2024 | Aaron Navarro

The Democratic Party will select its new nominee, virtually, as soon as Aug. 1, according to new rules passed Wednesday by the party's convention rules committee.

The Democratic National Committee also established that the party's candidate, which is likely to be Vice President Kamala Harris, must pick a running mate by Aug. 7, Ohio's current ballot deadline, which remains in effect. Harris' team is planning to finish the vetting of the VP field and expects her to pick her running mate by that date, according to a source familiar with the plans.

The DNC's newly adopted rules, the result of a long process that preceded President Biden's departure from the race, also establish a window for any Democrat to qualify and appear on the roll call ballot.

Harris' presidential campaign, and anyone seeking to challenge her, will need to file paperwork with the DNC and obtain digital signatures from at least 300 delegates, with no more than 50 from a single state, by July 30 at 6 p.m. ET.

It will be pure karma if they rush through a virtual coronation and then she shortly afterward collapses leading up to the convention.

Trump said Kamala will be easier to defeat than Biden so he gets what he wanted. Shirley Trump can beat Kamala in Nov.

She didn’t get one primary vote and of course zero delegates.

Anointed candidate under made up new rules.

I hear Trump wants to debate the cackling hyena on Fox with fat ass Baier and Martha what a freaking mistake! Get Jesse Waters screw those two antiTrump POS! If he chooses them he is the stupidest man for being as smart as he is. He has to remember there is no safe zone for him in the media puke outlets. They are going to try to do a Megan Kelly tag team on him! They’re going to do everything in their power to sabotage Trump ….they are not friendly fire at all! They hate his guts and will do whatever needs to be done to make kackling look smart and tough. Mark my words. When Trump brings up that she was appointed the border czar I guarantee you Martha or baier are going to rebuke Trump condemning him saying that is a falsehood. Mark my words! Setup #2! But this time it’s gonna be against Trump.

Democrats and rules don’t mix. They’re for other people to follow but not them

The Dump fought among themselves for a few days—then decided to go full Nazi and be all in on Kamala.

Any dissenters are gone—and fast.
