Soon after Joe Biden dropped out of the race, he endorsed Kamala Harris as his successor, and within a day and a half, she reportedly had secured support from enough delegates to win the nomination at the Democrats‘ upcoming convention. I’m not sure if that really means anything anymore, since Joe Biden had earned the necessary delegates democratically through the primary election process, and he’s no longer in the race.
Call me crazy, but I won’t believe Harris will be the nominee until she formally accepts the nomination. Why? Because there are whispers that Democrats aren’t exactly jazzed about her being the nominee, either, and another coup could be in progress as we speak.
Let’s look at some evidence.
For starters, the donor class that helped push Biden off the ticket isn’t necessarily behind Kamala. According to a report from Bloomberg, big Democrat donors want an open contest, not a coronation, and now at least one big donor won’t fundraise for Harris.
“You have to be enthusiastic or hoping for a political appointment to be asking friends for money. I am neither. It’s others‘ turn now,” Florida lawyer John Morgan said. He also suggested that he believes Harris will lose in November.
But perhaps the biggest indication that a coup is brewing against Harris is that negative stories are starting to emerge. For example, on Monday, Axios had an extensive report about Joe Biden’s doubts over Kamala’s ability to win the election that was jam-packed with damaging leaks.
„President Biden hesitated to drop his re-election campaign in part because he and his senior advisers worried that Vice President Kamala Harris wasn’t up to taking on Donald Trump, according to three Biden aides familiar with recent talks about his plans“, Axios reported.
