It's rich that Donald Trump, who tried overturn the 2020 election, and his allies in the GOP are trying to portray Harris' ascendance as undemocratic. A consensus is not a coup or a conspiracy.
In a startlingly swift sequence of events, Vice President Kamala Harris has won the support of party leaders, donors and — most important — delegates who intended to support President Biden before he abandoned his quest for a second term. It’s a remarkable show of solidarity, but Republicans are mischaracterizing it as something else: a desecration of democracy.
Johnson was instrumental in filing a brief by Republican House members supporting a lawsuit by Texas seeking to have the Supreme Court block certification of election results in four states where the voters chose Biden. The court rejected that meritless lawsuit, concluding that Texas lacked standing to contest how other states conduct their elections. One can argue that the Democratic Party should have had a more competitive process to choose a nominee after Biden withdrew.
