      We had primaries and nobody serious wanted to run against the incumbent president. Biden won the primary. Then he dropped out due and the delegates pledged to Biden (and elected by the primary voters) elected Harris as the nominee in the convention. Maybe you can show me when in the history of the USA a running incumbent president lost the primary, or even when any serious challenger campaigned against them in the primary.

        So we didn’t have a primary because Biden was the presumptive nominee… who was later removed long after it was obvious he had no chance.

        Sounds very Democratic.
