Don't get it wrong. The right word to use is endorse, not nominate.

And in any case, they can do anything within their party as you said earlier, but the formal nomination will still have to happen at the convention.

See it like this...."You've been dating and courting a lady for 10yrs. Infact, you've had children together and living together. No matter what you do will pronounce you two as husband and wife. That's the power of formal expression.

That's why I said, the right word remains "endorse" until convention.
Listen, I am telling you. I am in the know. You are not telling me how to see it.
You are learning this on the fly by me, trying to explain to me what it is. Chai.
Nigerians sometimes.

The formal nomination will happen before the convention. They are doing it because some Republican states were threatening to keep them off the ballot if they didn't do it early. Ohio set the date for Aug. 7th.

Here is a good source.

Biden won the democratic party primaries and was literally the candidate of the party elected by the vast majority of the democratic party supporters. Kamala is none of that, she didn't win any primaries and she can only be seen as the candidate when delegates vote for her at the convention. That many party elites endorse you doesn't guarantee that you'll get the votes of delegates. So let the Dems go make her candidacy official then they can come for a debate, trump has already said he is willing to have multiple debates with Kamala Harris if she's the candidate so you guys should stop your gaslighting.
Wrong again.

Delegates to the election are selected by the number of votes during the primary. The delegates Biden won, pledged their support to the Biden. They can change their vote. Kamala reached out to them and she got enough of Biden pledged delegates to pledge to support her. She is just as much the presumptive nominee as Biden was.

The US system is quirky, but it is what it is.

I will respond to your No.2)
From all I could gather, the Republicans are ready to debate only a substantive candidate and that's after the Dems have held their convention.

Holding a roll call is not the same thing as the main convention. The point here is why asking for a debate ahead of their convention.

Another thing to note is that even in a scheduled debate anyone can pull out if they so wish. But in this case, the Republicans have only hinged their participation in debate on condition that the Dems formally choose their candidate.
Actually you are wrong.
The main thing is officially electing the nominee.
That is done when the delegates vote. The delegates will vote for Harris on the roll call vote on Aug. 1st instead of the convention this year.
The convention is just window dressing. If it doesn't happen it wouldn't matter.

You are writing all of this to deflect from the fact that Trump won't commit to scheduling a debate in Sept. after the Dem. nominee is selected. Think that through.

Stop telling blatant lies, Trump didn't abort any debate with Harris because none was ever agreed to in the first place. He has said he is willing to have more than one debate with Kamala Harris but that will be only after she is confirmed to be the democratic party candidate.
Why can't he set the date now and if it's not Harris debate whoever it is?
In fact the Sept. 10th date is after the nominee is chosen.
What's the impediment. Does he think there will never be a Democratic nominee?

You're defending foolishness.

It's a simple question.

Who is the democratic candidate for the presidential election?
There is none yet as there wasn't one when Trump debated Biden.
But again, what does it matter?
Debates used to be set almost a year in advance when there were no nominees.

Jan 20th is inauguration date.
By your argument we can't set that date yet because we don't know who the President will be.
Your argument is silly.

The next presidential debate has been fixed for September 10, which means the Democratic party will by then have a substantive candidate.
You're wrong. You're spreading misinformation and so focused on being right you aren't even reading the nonsense you write.
You're arguing with the wrong person about this.

This thread is about the Sept 10th debate. You don't even seem to get that fact right.
This is from Kamala herself, who would know.

You reflexively defend Trump and throw your credibility away in the process.

1.) One of us doesn't know what they are talking about and it's not me. Parties can do whatever they want as long as it abides by their own rules. They said they are holding the roll call vote on Aug. 1st.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/24/dnc-democrats-kamala-harris-nomination

2.) Let's try this slowly. Trump has backed out of the September 10 debate. That is the debate we are talking about.
September 10 is even after the Dem convention in Aug.
Read that slowly.

Go down history and check, there's no time a substantive candidate ever debate a presumptive candidate.

The dates for debate are set bearing in mind the "status" of the candidates. The next presidential debate has been fixed for September 10.

The Democrat Convention comes up Aug19 - Aug 22. So it is expected that a substantive candidate would have emerged.

So you can see, the debate date are carefully set so that a substantive candidate will not have to waste his/her time debating a presumptive candidate.
Kamal will be nominated on Aug. 1st through a Voice Roll call vote. Because some Republican led states threatened to keep the Dem candidate off their ballot.
She will be then the official candidate Aug. 1st.
The debate Trump is pulling out of is in September when Kamala would have been the official nominee.

As I said, the debates are set well in advance when no candidate is "official". All the debates happen when they are. This would have been no exception.

Pls keep quiet!
Is this the first time Trump is coming out for an election? He is already a US president. What rape nonsense are u blabbing about? How was he able to win the first election? Are u more sensible than all the Americans that voted for him? Nobody wants a disorganized America by putting her affairs in the hands of a woman that do not believe in natural & world order!
Trump barely won the first time and he only won because US elections aren't based on a Popular vote but through the electoral college. A system setup that gave smaller populated southern states more power.
More Americans voted for Clinton and Biden than Trump in both elections.

Listen the Commission on Presidential debates used to schedule the debates.
This year the dates of the debates were scheduled in Nov 2023. There was no nominee then.
Trump chose not to use them this year.

It is a well established norm that debates are scheduled because there will be a nominee at some point.
And running for president is one of the most singular most important things in a person's life, so they shouldn't be busy that day.

Also, Trump said last week he would debate her. He also debated Biden who wasn't the nominee. Stop defending foolishness.

In past Presidential races, debates are set up almost a year in advance and the candidates just show up.
The debate was set for a date after Kamala would have been the nominee.

If you are determined to debate, does it matter who the nominee is in setting up a date.
Or would you be doing something better?
It's Trump's erosion of all democratic norms.

Already aware of her position on defund the police.
While I agree with her here, these are leftists positions. A question is on if the average voter agrees with her?
My guess is that the average voter is more likely to be against the "defund police" movement, as "defund the police" is a dumb name and bad optics for a movement, even if I agree with the positions.

So the Trump campaign has legit ammo on her here.
She's not wrong here and we as a American Society shouldn't be scared of reimagining what policing looks like.

I remember a black kid being shot in Boston after the family called looking for support for their mentally ill child. They called the police and the police came and shot and killed him. There should have been a better way to de escalate that situation.

Defund the police is an unfortunate slogan, but those who cared, have read about it and understand the meaning behind it.

The problem with MAGA is that they can't understand things longer than a slogan. So everything is just whether you agree with a slogan or not. So all the hard problems we have in the US can't be solved because they are more complex than can fit on a bumper sticker.

So no bullets were fired at him.
So, because a bullet was fired, it means he was hit?
Did you see him get hit?
Only idiots think like you.

He lost 2 centimeters of his ear.
Show me the doctor's report (and Ronny Jackson isn't a licensed doctor and isn't the one who treated him)
Show me a pic of his ear that shows that.

This is what the FBI does. In order to write their report they have to have all the information. They would have already went over the crime scene. I'm assuming there is doubt because they've already mapped the trajectory of the bullets and the FBI thinks it may be implausible that Trump was hit by a bullet.

The question is why Trump hasn't already sat down for an interview and released his medical report to the Public.
And unless Trump saw the bullet, how would he know it was a bullet that hit him?

Kamila herself said she was of East Indian origin, you are claiming she's African American.

Furthermore, you aren't aware of the East Indian culture, im aware of their culture and they completely claim their mothers side, it happens almost everytime.

That would mean that Kamala's dad would've identify as East Indian.

Now are you able to appreciate the absolute facts?

Therefore, you can cease all those false narratives and nonsensical slurs that you're emmiting here.

Seems the FBI may have doubts if Trump was actually hit with the bullet.

The bureau has asked to interview Mr. Trump as part of its broader investigation, hoping to provide insights into the shooting and possibly a more complete record of his injury, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the continuing inquiry.

Trump is scared to debate Kamala Harris.

He has pulled out of the debate scheduled for Sept. 10, saying it's because she isn't the nominee yet.
Harris will be the nominee Aug. 1
He also debated Biden who wasn't the nominee
In past elections the debate schedule would normally be set a year before the election date.

Trump is struggling with women and Vance says hold my beer.

But, this is why Trump was and will be a terrible President. His inability to pick good staff.
He makes very poor staffing choices and because of how big the portfolio of a President is, a lot of the day to day running of the country is left to the staff you choose.
