Pelosi Asserts Kamala Harris Won 'Open Primary' for Democratic Nomination

Pelosi claims Harris became the Democratic nominee unopposed after Biden's withdrawal, despite no formal primary being held.

Nancy Pelosi stated that Vice President Kamala Harris won an 'open primary' to become the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden stepped down.
Biden dropped out of the race in July following pressure from Democratic politicians, donors, and celebrities, subsequently endorsing Harris.
Pelosi emphasized that no other candidates entered the race because Harris was 'politically astute' and had a 'running start.'
Critics argue that the nomination process was not truly open, as Harris faced no formal challengers and no primary votes were cast.
Election experts noted that while the process deviated from contemporary norms, it was not illegal, and similar situations have occurred in political history.
