From Breitbart: The Democrat party will reportedly change the rules and coronate Vice President Kamala Harris as its nominee in the first week of August, weeks before the Democratic national convention.
The shortened timeline underscores the Democrats’ disregard for the democratic process of selecting a candidate for president. By simply choosing Harris for the nomination, Democrats will nullify about 14 million votes cast during the Democrat primaries for President Joe Biden.
Democrat leaders will assemble on Wednesday to change the roll call rules to allow Harris to accept the party’s nomination before it reaches the convention floor in Chicago, Bloomberg reported:
The idea of a virtual roll call emerged in May in order to make sure the Democratic ticket would have time to get on the ballot in several states with early filing deadlines, party leaders said. The convention’s rules committee meets to finalize that process Wednesday — the last remaining obstacle to holding the vote.
It was Ohio’s Aug. 7 deadline that prompted the rule change, and even though the state pushed it back to Sept. 1, it’s unclear whether the old deadline still applies to the 2024 election.
The report also notes that the rush is now on for Harris to select a running mate, as the early nomination vote could take place as soon as Aug. 1.
A panel of Democratic stalwarts will meet Wednesday to complete a rule change to allow Vice President Kamala Harris to accept her party’s nomination for president weeks in advance of the party’s convention in Chicago. https://t.co/pTbdZEkQX2

Not necessarily. Kamala is just a puppet, so they could tell her at the last minute. She’ll read whatever the teleprompter says.

“Shouldn’t the nominee be decided by a party vote? Democracy etc …” commented Musk in another post.
