Clyburn Would Support ‘Mini-Primary’ If Biden Steps Aside

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), a top ally of Joe Biden, said Wednesday that if the president steps aside from the election, he would expect to see a “mini-primary” ahead of the Democratic National Convention with Kamala Harris and Democratic governors vying for the top two spots on the party’s ticket, Politico reports.

Said Clyburn: “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 election.”
