Will Bequeathing the Nomination to Kamala Harris Backfire?
Democrats solved one problem by persuading Joe Biden to drop his doomed presidential campaign. Now they have another: Can they pass the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris without making it seem like the process was “rigged” all along?
“It's her time and turn,” South Carolina-based Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright told The Daily Beast.
Shortly after Biden announced on Sunday afternoon that he would drop his quest for a second White House term, Harris said she would seek the nomination. The announcement was met by widespread jubilation; over the course of a single day, the Harris campaign raised $81 million, the largest 24-hour raise of any candidate in history.
