The US Democratic Party is banking everything on Harris' candidacy

 The need to recover the time, already irretrievably lost during the electoral campaign, requires the Democratic Party to speed up the times for Kamala Harris' candidacy and, at the same time, to render ineffective any internal attempt, which could oust her from the role of candidate for the presidency of the United States. In practice, it is a matter of developing and establishing procedures that can guarantee Harris' role as candidate for the White House, in a way to guarantee its effectiveness in a safe way and, above all, as soon as possible; this is because the time factor has now become decisive. The committee that oversees the rules within the Democratic Party has established a timeframe to arrive at Harris' nomination as presidential candidate. Along with the calendar, three rules have been established, which must facilitate the process of the official candidacy. The first rule makes it virtually impossible to challenge Harris' position, the second determines the advancement of the nomination, so that the Convention becomes an official investiture, celebrated together with a ceremony in which Biden will be honored by the entire party for the work done, the third will have to give Harris absolute freedom regarding the nomination of her candidate for vice president. To secure Harris' candidacy, the times for presenting the candidacy for the presidency have been brought forward by three days, that is from July 30 to July 27, so that at 6 pm, US capital time, each challenger must have their candidacy formalized, to this must be added the advancement to July 30 to have the signature of 300 delegates, with maximum adhesions for each single state of 50 delegates, necessary for the ratification to propose their candidacy. After these phases, the vote of the delegates on the candidacy will be necessary, which with only Harris as a candidate will be scheduled for August 1, vice versa in the presence of multiple candidates, the vote will take place on August 7. : A very limited time that makes it practically impossible to carry out an electoral campaign for any alternative candidate to Harris. These methods of candidacy demonstrate how the Democratic Party intends to show itself to the electorate as united and determined to support the Vice President, now identified as a concrete symbol of the democratic political force and alternative to Trump. Even the Obama family, who did not seem convinced by this hypothesis, demonstrated their support for Harris, thus sealing the nomination for the candidacy. This result seems more like a necessity to be made a virtue of, dictated by the tight deadlines, than a considered choice that has matured consciously within the right and adequate times. One impression is that Harris, in the event of victory, could become president by chance, thanks to a series of particularly favorable and fortunate circumstances. There are significant doubts that a candidacy process carried out in adequate times and, above all, with an internal debate within the party capable of representing the different points of view, could determine the candidacy of Harris, who did not enjoy adequate popularity for this task, also due to the lack of relevance of how she interpreted the role of vice president. In any case, for the Democratic Party, it is precisely the position of vice president in office that has determined the succession to Biden, at least as a candidate for the presidency; this choice, which appears forced, must now be supported in any case, especially as a symbolic value of alternative to the threatened autocracy of Trump. Harris is also better than the Republican candidate, let's hope that voters are convinced of this too.
