Pelosi Claims Kamala Harris Won Open Primary After Biden Stepped Down

Sep 19, 2024, 05:45 PM

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi has asserted that the Democratic Party held an open primary in which Vice President Kamala Harris emerged victorious. Pelosi stated that no other candidates entered the race, allowing Harris to secure the nomination. Pelosi mentioned that Harris had a running start, which deterred other candidates from participating. This claim has been met with skepticism and accusations of dishonesty, as some critics argue that there was no actual voting process and that Harris did not receive any votes in the primary. The context of this situation follows President Joe Biden stepping down from the race.
