Clyburn Says He Would Support ‘Mini-Primary’ Ahead of DNC Convention if Biden Steps Aside

EXCERPT:

CLYBURN: “There will definitely be other candidates. My understanding is there are 700 uncommitted delegates. And, of course, there are delegates who have pled. It would seem to me that any one of these people who aspire to being president, who would like to see a contest taking place, look at those 700 delegates who are now uncommitted and get into their action. And I do believe that all the delegates are committed only for the first round. And so you can actually fashion the process that's already in place to make it a mini primary, and I would support that, absolutely. We can't close that down, and we should open up everything for the general elected. And I think that Kamala Harris would acquit herself very well in that kind of a process, but then it will be fair to everybody. So, all of the other governors who may be interested, and there's some that I would be interested in hearing from as well, because if she were to be the nominee, we need to have a running mate and need strong running mate. And so all of us would give us a good opportunity, not just to measure up who would be good, it's going to be at the top of the ticket, but also who will be best in second place.”
