Black Lives Matter (BLM) has called on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to hold an immediate nationwide virtual primary following Vice President Kamala Harris’ claim of securing enough delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination, The Daily Caller reported.
On Tuesday morning, Harris announced that she had gathered sufficient support from DNC delegates to become the party’s presidential nominee. This proclamation came after President Joe Biden stepped down from the race and endorsed Harris. In response, BLM issued a statement expressing concerns over the DNC’s decision not to hold a new primary election following Biden’s withdrawal.
“We call for the Rules Committee to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates,” BLM’s statement reads in a post on X. “The current political landscape is unprecedented, with President Biden stepping aside in a manner never seen before. This moment calls for decisive action to protect the integrity of our democracy and the voices of Black voters.”
