@amyedge @LouisIngenthron @Jennifer interesting... can we infer from this that it's not a done deal, the passing of the torch to the VP?

@Leefromphilly @amyedge @Jennifer Oh, it's definitely not a done thing. From what I've read so far, it'll be an open primary. But, Harris already has Biden's support and the support of several elected Dem members of Congress. Momentum is very much on her side.

@LouisIngenthron @amyedge @Jennifer I sincerely hope that is not true! What happens during a primary? The candidates attack each other! Then the candidate that we have has already been decimated by their own party. Not a smart move.

Egos need to be put aside and the best candidate needs to be put forward.

@Leefromphilly @amyedge @Jennifer One way or another, it'll be decided by the first or second week of August.

If enough people get behind Kamala, then nobody else will throw their hat in the ring and it'll be a done deal and we'll be golden, a party united against fascism.

If any other serious contender enters and gains support, then we may be in deep trouble, but the short time frame helps blunt the worst effects of an open primary.
