As the media likes to say: "this is a developing story"., While nothing formal has been announced about the process, my sources say Schumer, Jeffries and Pelosi are working with Harris on a transition and VP choice. The Biden campaign has been transformed into the Harris campaign (per FEC), which means she starts out with $92 M cash on hand. Any other prospective candidate would have to run against Party leadership and start with $0 in the bank (nb: all of the Governor candidates people are speculating about don't have Federal campaign accounts). I'd say 99% likely that its Harris but we won't here anything until the package is ready for rollout.

Harris can - and will - beat Trump. Now is the time for optimism, organizing, contributing, and voting.

If he decides to get in.

(112,539 posts)If so, did they not also support Kamala when they voted for Biden?
I would think there would be very few Biden delegates that would not vote for Kamala.
I do not see a lot of roadblocks for Kamala being the nominee of the Party.
