Black Lives Matter Demands DNC Host Open Virtual Primary After Kamala Harris Secures Nomination

Jul 23, 2024, 08:11 PM

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is demanding that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) immediately host an informal, virtual snap primary across the country prior to the DNC convention in August. This call for a primary comes shortly after Vice President Kamala Harris secured enough delegates for the party’s nomination. BLM's demand is driven by concerns over the perceived 'anointing' of Kamala Harris and an unknown vice president without a public voting process. The organization emphasized the need for public participation in the nomination process to uphold democratic integrity, calling it an open primary.
