DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT KAMALA HARRIS. Here is a simple fact: The Democratic Party does not like to renominate presidential candidates who lost in the last election. Just look at history. The 2016 losing Democrat was Hillary Clinton; the party moved on in 2020. Before that, John Kerry was the losing Democrat in 2004. He made some noise about giving it another try in 2008, and the party told him to forget it. The losing Democrat in 2000 was Al Gore. The party did not give him a second chance.

Go back to Democratic losers Michael Dukakis (1988), Walter Mondale (1984), Jimmy Carter (1980), George McGovern (1972), and Hubert Humphrey (1968). Nobody got a second run after losing. You have to go back 70 years, when the Democratic Party in 1952 nominated Adlai Stevenson, who lost, and then renominated him in 1956, when he lost again, to find a time when Democrats chose a proven loser as their nominee. And that didn’t work.
