Former Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi insisted on Wednesday that her party's presidential nominating process after President Biden dropped out was 'open,' and Vice President Kamala Harris 'won it,' despite the absence of any such contest. Prior to Biden stepping down as the Democratic Party's nominee in mid-July, Pelosi reportedly said she favored a competitive open primary process to replace him if needed.
' Meanwhile, academic elections experts told Fox News Digital that nothing illegal or undemocratic took place because ultimately it is each party's purview how they go about nominating their candidate. 'You could probably sue the party for a civil tort and say, you know, ‘They did something wrong to me here.’ But it wouldn't be a violation of election law,' said Jeremy Mayer, a professor at George Mason University's Schar School of Public Policy and Government.
