At that point the DNC needed a primary. Nothing she's done qualified her to run for president.
I'm surprised the internet is available wherever you live because it must be so misinformed there that evidently history books are only used to place your dunce caps upon. The states run primaries, not the parties. The primaries were all finished. There is no mechanism nor regulation that if a party's presumptive nominee drops out, every single primary must be held again.
Think of how stupid it is to even raise this as a probability! Tell us Einstein, just how would that happen at the end of July? How long would it take to organize each state and territory for a single race ballot? Who's going to pay for this expense, the Republican Party? Dems sure as hell aren't.
Again - as you obviously don't know nor understand - the parties themselves determine how their nominees are chosen, not state governments. As Danforth informed you, the Democratic National Committee DOES have party rules for such a contingency and they were followed to a T! There was an open call for candidates to enter a convention nomination race with the delegates deciding. Only one candidate did, Kamala Harris. None of the 25 other 2020 candidates - nor anyone else - threw their hat in the ring. So Kamala received the votes from delegates to win and become the 2024 Democratic Presidential nominee.
And being the Vice President for 4 years is the ultimate qualification for becoming President. And again, replacing the President is the chief role of the Vice President to begin with. This is why they're elected in the first place and not fireable by the President. The Vice President is the only member of the entire Executive Branch that doesn't serve at the President's leisure, she serves as the first person selected to move into the Presidency should the need occur.
And that, my troglodytic misanthrope, is the most important qualification for becoming the President and its dictate comes from inside the US Constitution itself.
