    It’s as close as they can get under the circumstances.

    In 2020, they picked Biden and by extension his choice in running mate during primaries. In the general election, people voted for Biden with Harris. If Harris was an unacceptable “almost president”, the voters had chances during the general election in 2020 and again in the 2024 primaries.

    The democratic approach formally declares that Biden gets to pick the president, and he picks Harris.
