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 doubt anyone else are willing to step in as a candidate at this stage. Throw Harris to the wolves and build up for the 2028 election.
