There are no other serious challengers.
We have to go back to the time before President Joe Biden backed out since that’s when we can start to see when Kamala Harris’s campaign success can start.
Before the announcement, but after that disastrous debate between Trump and Biden, some Democratic leaders have started to talk about an open process in order to pick the party’s endorsed nominee.
It seemed that the party was so worried about whether or not they should endorse Biden that even donors got into the discussion with a wild scheme for a mini-Democratic primary (which is extremely wild and would cost a ton, so no one took it seriously).
However, once Biden has backed out of the race and endorsed Kamala Harris, it seems like he will lead the way for her to avoid any major challengers.
Biden’s announcement was made Sunday afternoon, and by Monday morning, a lot of the possible challengers to the nomination that the public was aware of had endorsed Harris.
This includes the likes of Governors Gavin Newsom of California, Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Wes Moore of Maryland, and JB Pritzker of Illinois, just to name a few.
With all these big names not running, it seems like the only alternative candidate for the Democratic Party is wellness guru Marianne Williamson. Even Senator Joe Manchin has proclaimed that he will not be a candidate for the presidency despite thinking about it.
The future seems to be clearer for the Harris campaign with this information. A lot of the big democratic names are ready to support her, and while she isn’t going to be “coronated” by the party as a nominee immediately, the path to getting the nomination is pretty clean and fairly easy.
All indications seem to be towards her, so her campaign now needs to be focused on winning the hearts of the people since the party seems to love her.
But will that be easy given her little time compared to all others for lobbying? Let’s take a look.
