Handing VP Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nomination without having her compete in primaries is a throwback to less democratic ways of picking nominees, a political scientist says.
This is the actual take away we need. Harris is a fine candidate for this situation - we were desperate and needed someone in a snap… but we need to have competitive primaries every election.
It’s highly likely Harris would have beat Biden and then, instead of that disastrous debate we’d have trounced Trump and low information voters would be more familiar with Harris as a candidate.
