WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are not only split on whether President Joe Biden should quit his reelection race, they’re also not on the same page about what to do if he goes. Some Democrats want the president to tap Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him on the ticket. Other Democrats favor an open process at the party convention next month in Chicago to nominate their candidate, with Harris among those participating. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is among those who favor an open process, her thinking being that whoever emerges as the candidate will be in the strongest position to challenge Republican Donald Trump for the presidency.
