Pelosi Defends Harris' Nomination Process
News summary

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed in a recent interview that Vice President Kamala Harris 'won' an open primary after President Biden withdrew from the race, despite the absence of any actual primary contest. Pelosi insisted that Harris was politically astute and that the lack of challengers was due to her momentum, stating, 'Nobody else got in the race.' In reality, Biden's withdrawal was followed by an endorsement of Harris, who faced no opposition as the Democratic National Committee implemented an unprecedented virtual roll call, which she dominated. Critics have pointed out that the Democratic Party's process was not open, as several potential candidates were effectively barred from competing. Many have labeled Pelosi's remarks as revisionist or misleading, arguing that the process was designed to favor Harris from the start. This controversy highlights ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party regarding transparency and candidate selection.
