House Democrats are coalescing around the assumption that Vice President Kamala Harris will be named their party's presidential nominee at their August convention.
House Democrats are insisting that anyone is free to jump into their 2024 presidential primary — but suggest challenging Vice President Kamala Harris is a futile effort. 'The convention delegates can vote for whomever they choose once they're released. That means anybody who wants to can and should offer themselves — Vice President Harris has offered herself.
Woah woah woah woah woah woah. I thought Kamala Harris was on the ballot,' he told a reporter who asked if he had concerns about the lack of a primary. 'I thought Kamala Harris was on the ballot to be the president if the president couldn't serve. She was on the ballot. It was Biden-Harris.' Harris confirmed she would seek the presidency on Sunday after President Biden made the bombshell announcement that he’s dropping out of the race.
Several House Democrats who spoke with Fox News Digital, however, said anyone was free to jump into the race but denied a challenger would derail Harris’ and Democrats’ momentum. 'You’re seeing Democrats coalesce around Vice President Harris. I have endorsed her. Ultimately, in order to have a primary, you have to have a challenger. No one is challenging her,' said Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.
Harris has indeed scored support from a wide array of House Democratic factions, including the Congressional Black Caucus and Progressive Caucus. But some lawmakers who have been critical of the Biden administration — like Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., have been notably silent.
