This year could be the first time in decades that a major political party would go into its convention without a presumptive nominee.
CHICAGO – President Joe Biden announced he would end his 2024 re-election bid and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris , to be their party's nominee, less than a month before the Democratic National Convention was set to take place in Chicago .Delegates will vote to nominate a candidate at the United Center next month, unless the person is chosen in a closed-door vote beforehand.
If Harris would win the roll call vote, she would have been chosen by delegates, but not Democratic primary voters.'What that means is that she's really not been battle-tested for this role,' said Wayne Steger, a professor of political science at DePaul University. 'She hasn't been put through the kind of public scrutiny and media scrutiny that we normally see these presidential candidates face, and so there's high risk here.
