What's Happening?
Reports suggest that Republican allies of Donald Trump are considering a lawfare plot to prevent Kamala Harris from running for president. Despite this, experts believe such an attempt to keep Biden on the ballot would likely fail.
Why the Concern?
President Joe Biden has endorsed Kamala Harris as the next Democratic nominee, leading to speculation that Trump's camp may try to block her candidacy. Harris is the top contender for the nomination at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in August.
Legal Challenges Ahead
If Republicans move forward with their plan, they may argue that putting Harris on the ticket is undemocratic or try to block her access to campaign funds. However, legal experts doubt the success of such challenges in court.
What Experts Say
Legal experts have dismissed the likelihood of a successful challenge against Harris, citing the presidential primary process and delegates' discretion in nominating candidates.
Precedent and Roadblocks
Previous court decisions and legal precedents suggest that attempts to challenge Harris's candidacy may face significant hurdles and ultimately fail in court.
What's Next?
With the election just around the corner, any legal challenges from the GOP could be time-consuming and ultimately fruitless, given the legal foundations already in place.
