#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.
From #CNN: More minutiae on how the convention rules will play out and how other candidates would have to be nominated.
(People lecturing me about past conventions don't seem to realize that the rules change from convention to convention ...)
Among the highlights:
* Candidate must collect signatures from at least 300 delegates.
* Candidate must establish "substantial support for their nomination as the Democratic candidate."
From #Politico: Some Democratic donors are reaching out to Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV), asking him to re-register as a Democrat and run for the party's presidential nomination at the convention.
From @actBlue on Zombie Twitter:
"NEW: Small-dollar donors raise over $27.5 million on ActBlue in the first 5 hours of Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. Grassroots supporters are energized and excited to support her as the Democratic nominee"
Over on Zombie Twitter, the United Farm Workers have endorsed Kamala #Harris.
"The United Farm Workers is proud to endorse VP Kamala Harris for President. Dime con quien andas, y te digo quien eres.
"Kamala Harris stood with farm workers as CA’s Attorney General, as US Senator, and as Vice President. There is work to be done, and we’re ready. Sí, se puede!"
@WordsmithFL And Harris is nearly two decades younger than Trump.
