Kamala Harris is getting support from every major Democratic constituency — from progressives like Sen. Elizabeth Warren to establishment types like Hillary Clinton to moderates like Rep. Josh Gottheimer. There is no real opening for a rival.
The convention will be open, none of the delegates are obligated to anyone anymore. Marianne Williamson just won’t get any of them because her campaign has been a joke from start to finish.

In 2020, they picked Biden and by extension his choice in running mate during primaries. In the general election, people voted for Biden with Harris. If Harris was an unacceptable “almost president”, the voters had chances during the general election in 2020 and again in the 2024 primaries.
The democratic approach formally declares that Biden gets to pick the president, and he picks Harris.
