DENVER — Vice President Kamala Harris is cementing her spot as the Democratic presidential nominee, with Colorado Democrats largely supporting the decision after President Biden dropped out of the race.On Monday evening, hundreds of Colorado Democrats from the State Central Committee met virtually to discuss Harris as the party's selection. Colorado's 87 delegates were also on the call.
"The energy is through the roof, and so I suspect we're going to come out of this meeting with a strong endorsement for the vice president," Murib said. “I want to make sure that every delegate has a chance to be heard, that we have a conversation about it and that we move forward as one.” The tradition of picking a nominee through primaries and caucuses – and not through what is called the “convention system” – is relatively recent. In 1968, after President Lyndon B. Johnson announced he would not run for reelection, his vice president, Hubert Humphrey, was able to secure the Democratic nomination despite not entering any primaries or caucuses.
