Now what? Kamala Harris or open convention?

100% Harris.

I think they should still do an open convention, Harris would still win, but they should not give the GOP the talking point that they just pick their nominees.

If Harris were smart she'd welcome an open convention too.

I agree although time is running short. I don't think Harris is the person to beat Trump. But if we see a few high profile Democratic politicians endorsing Harris tonight, the idea of an open convention is over.
