Nancy Pelosi claims Democratic primary process was 'open'
Controversy Over Democratic Nomination Process
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has sparked controversy by claiming that the Democratic Party's presidential nomination process was 'open' and that Vice President Kamala Harris 'won it' after President Biden's withdrawal. This assertion contradicts the actual events, as Harris faced no competition in becoming the nominee.
We had an open primary and [Kamala Harris] won it. Nobody else got in the race.
Critics have labeled Pelosi's comments as misleading, given that Harris was effectively installed as the nominee without a traditional primary process. However, some experts argue that the party had limited options due to the short timeframe before the election.
