Civil rights activist group Black Lives Matter (BLM) on Tuesday called for Democrats to host a virtual primary to determine who should receive the party's nomination ahead of the Democratic National Convention. Harris earned enough delegates Monday to win the Democratic nomination, according to the Associated Press. The publication stopped short of calling her the presumptive nominee, citing the potential for changes leading up to the convention. The BLM press release noted, however, Democrats have alienated their voter base by not holding a primary to officially nominate Harris.
"Black Lives Matter demands that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) immediately host an informal, virtual snap primary across the country prior to the DNC convention in August. We call for the Rules Committee to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates."

Can Harris -- or any other Democrat -- access Biden campaign money?
www.npr.org
... The Biden campaign said it had $240 million cash on hand at the beginning of July. It likely burned through a good deal of that on ads, staffing and the like since then, but now that President Biden is out, there's a question of whether any other candidate would or should have access to that money.
The short answer seems to be that Vice President Harris -- who is already poised to be the new Democratic nominee -- has a strong claim to the funds, because she was and is on the filing statements as a candidate with Biden. Other potential replacements would not, according to many campaign finance experts.
Those candidates would have to rely on Biden donating the money to an outside group or super PAC or he would have to stand one up on his own to support the potential Democratic nominee. But the candidate would not have control over that money or how it's used. ...
