Republican VP nominee JD Vance said Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris is a “threat to Democracy” because she will likely be chosen as the Democratic presidential nominee without voter input.  Dems will make a mockery out of the US election process.

     The senator, speaking in Ohio at his first solo rally after being selected as Donald Trump’s running mate, argued that Trump made his “case to voters” and was nominated as the GOP presidential nominee despite “good competition.”  If Harris is named the Democratic nominee to replace President Biden without voter input, that thwarts the Democratic process, Vance said.  "The idea of selecting the Democratic Party’s nominee because George Soros and Barack Obama and a couple of elite Democrats got in a smoke-filled room and decided to throw Joe Biden overboard? That is not how it works,” the Ohio pol said in his hometown of Middletown, the day after Biden dropped out of the race.

     Now, with weeks to go before the Democratic National Convention, the DNC will either do a virtual voice call with delegates in the first week of August and vote Harris in as the nominee to avoid issues with state ballot deadlines, or delegates will vote for Harris or a possible other candidate at the convention.  Either way, party voters will not directly decide who will replace Biden, with the choice to select Harris or someone else left up to the Democratic National Convention delegates.
