As Democrats question President Joe Biden’s 2024 run, they also debate whether Vice President Kamala Harris should be the next nominee or if a new candidate should be chosen through a “mini primary” before the August convention.
Harris campaigned in Massachusetts, receiving support from Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Harris said, “We’re going to win this election,” without addressing Biden’s potential exit. Some top Democrats, like Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, prefer an open process, believing it would strengthen the party’s nominee.
Biden, recovering from COVID-19, remains determined to campaign. However, many Democratic lawmakers urge him to step aside, with some supporting Harris and others favoring an open nominating process to find a new candidate.
