Former President Bill Clinton adviser Doug Schoen said on Tuesday that he has “trouble with the process” that led to Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the Democrats’ presumptive nominee.
President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race and endorsed Harris on Sunday, with the vice president securing sufficient support from Democratic delegates to become the party’s presumptive nominee, despite never winning delegates in an election. Schoen, on “The Faulkner Focus,” said this development raises a “fair question” about who is “the existential threat to democracy.”
“I have trouble with the process that was put in place to very quickly rubber stamp her nomination. No mini primary, no open convention,” Schoen said. “Basically, the deal was done in 48 hours. I have a problem with that.”
