"You talk all the time about the importance of democracy. We know that three point two million Californians voted for Joe Biden in the primary. They knew that Kamala Harris was his vice president but they didn't vote for her at the top of the ticket. How is it democratic for the Democratic party to unanimously nominate someone who no regular voters actually voted for? Well, the way the process works is we vote for people to represent us, uh at the convention, uh to cast their vote uh along the lines that we would like. And that's what would have taken place at the convention but for the decision Joe Biden made, step aside. Uh and now he made the recommendation to the convention but it was only a recommendation…that we get behind the vice president, uh but we very quickly close ranks behind the vice president, but that is the way the democratic process works. And it works that way in part for a very uh significant reason that is circumstances change. Uh and you know it became I think, clear to the president that it was the right to pass the torch to his vice president, uh and that's what he did. Uh but I think that is certainly consistent with the Democrat party uh functions and the way we vote for delegates at the convention, uh we follow the appropriate process."
