#MSNBC talking about some voices in the Democratic party calling for a "mini-primary" before the convention, or at the convention.
There are no mechanisms for this.
The DNC would have to hold a vote to change the convention rules. Why would they do that? It would only introduce more chaos.
My guess is that #Biden will address the convention, release his delegates, and ask them to vote for #Harris.
I don't think the DNC leadership will tolerate any other nominees.

@WordsmithFL Would Biden delegates have the option of not becoming Harris delegates? Worried the Supreme Court would come up with something at #tfg’s request to keep her from getting the nomination.
@WordsmithFL 🙏🏼💙Thanks!!! Feeling a bit more relieved now.
@ACG2 I don't see how. The convention is August 19. To file a lawsuit, a party must have "standing," i.e. been injured by the defendant. It's an internal Democratic Party matter. #SCOTUS is adjourned until October, so no way to hold a hearing.
Could Biden delegates not support Harris? Depends on what rules they come up with but, if he releases them, then yeah, they can vote for whomever they want. But they're Biden people, so they'll do what he wants.
