This will be the Trump campaign’s messaging tactic - try to divide and undermine party unity by suggesting Harris doesn’t deserve the spot. The friction between Clinton and Sanders supporters likely handed Trump the presidency so expect Republican astroturfers to come out of the woodwork seeking to promote a bitter contest for this nomination.

Everyone with an ounce of sense knows there isn’t time or money to speedrun another primary season between now and the general. Harris is still at this point an underdog and we need the entirety of party resources focused on Trump and the MAGA agenda. Even Whitmer, who would be my first choice and who probably does have national ambitions, has been clear that she is putting country before ego.

This is not the moment to screw around letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. We need solidarity to have a hope in November.
