Kamala Harris as the Democratic Nominee

The announcement of Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party following President Biden's decision not to seek reelection raises discussions around the legitimacy of such a nomination. Some argue that her selection should not be met with skepticism or concern, as Biden was never officially nominated, making it easy for the party to pivot to a different candidate. Delegates have voiced their support for Harris, emphasizing that political parties have the autonomy to select their nominees at conventions, regardless of previous presumptive nominations. As long as no legal obstacles exist, her position reflects responsive democratic processes rather than any whimsical party maneuvering.
