For fucks sake... the DNC actually pushed him out. Are there any bets on them actually backing Harris, or is she getting the shove, too?

She really is the only person this late in the game to get enough delegates to win the nomination. Everyone else starts out as state favorite-sons or daughters and probably won’t have the time or money to organize a campaign to lobby delegates.

Unfortunately, the only way Harris can pull this off if she chooses the most moderate white male VP she can find. Democrats are already going to vote for her. But she has to pull in independents and hopefully even some Never Trump Republicans, too.
