Kamala Harris’s possible candidacy for the presidency of the United States for the Democratic Party may face legal obstacles, according to international analyst Lourival Sant’Anna. The expert highlights that the vice president’s absence in the party’s primaries may be the target of legal challenges.
Sant’Anna explained that “Republicans and perhaps even some Democrats will be able to take legal action against Kamala Harris’s nomination without a lawsuit.”
The analyst emphasizes that there are no well-defined rules for this situation. He adds that, by law, delegates are not required to vote at the convention for the candidate they were elected by during the primaries.
This lack of clarity in the rules gives the party leadership freedom to choose the process for nominating the new candidate. However, it also leaves room for criticism and possible legal action.
Challenges for the Democratic Party
Despite the potential legal obstacles, Sant’Anna believes that there is no environment in the Democratic Party for a challenge to Kamala Harris’s name. “She is already on the ticket, in addition to being a black woman and the daughter of immigrants,” argues the analyst.
The expert highlights that a challenge to Harris’ candidacy could create a major division within the party along racial and gender lines, which, for the analyst, is “everything the Democratic Party does not need at this moment”. Sant’Anna also emphasized the need for conciliation to face Donald Trump in the November elections.
