Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) conceded Democrats would have been “served better” if party elders had held a primary election to nominate former President Joe Biden’s replacement after he dropped his bid for reelection last year.

Biden immediately endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement after suspending his presidential campaign last summer, a move largely viewed as undercutting a primary process where another candidate could have been picked to challenge President Donald Trump.
