“If anyone is going to challenge Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination, they have only until this weekend to do it,” Politico reports.

“Delegates to the Democratic National Convention rules committee approved the virtual roll call on Wednesday, moving ahead with a July 30 deadline for candidates seeking to collect delegate signatures to appear on the virtual roll call. The virtual roll call, which must be completed by Aug. 7 to comply with Ohio ballot access deadlines, could start as early as next Thursday.”

    Harris already has more than 3000 out of 4000 delegates to the DNC. That is about 75%. In another three days, she will have over 85%. Any challenger wouldn’t even have minimum threshold of delegates needed to be placed as a nominee. So, you better move fast if you’re in.

        Didn’t Tulsi come out recently shitting all over Kamala bring up old baggage?

        I agree though hopefully everybody just shuts the fuck up, the most important thing now is to ride this new wave of excitement and beat trump. Beating trump is all that matters.

            Only potential to those not paying attention. I’m not saying people can’t move beyond their past and better themselves. Tulsi hasn’t and won’t. Which is why despite voting for sanders in the 16 and 20 primaries. Tulsi was the only candidate I liked less than Biden in 20. Tulsi and biden were the two I disliked more than Harris. So we’re definitely moving in the right direction.

            Everyone is a potential running mate of anyone during the primaries. We have no idea if she was even considered for that.

            Except for Ted Cruz’s 2016 hail Mary where he said Carly Fiorina would be his VP, hoping that would get him to beat Trump. Lol, Ted.

      What are the rules on hiring fake delegates to vote for me? I hear that’s okay these days

    Do y’all think it will be Trump himself or Rudy Giuliani who shows up in a wig to try to become the Democratic nominee?
