(The Guardian) Democratic party chair vows 'transparent and orderly process' to find new candidate
All eyes will soon be on party chair Jamie Harrison as the Democrats scramble to find a new presidential contender following Joe Biden’s exit from the race less than four months before election day.

Biden had not been officially nominated, but had the delegates necessary after winning every state in the primaries. In a statement, Harrison acknowledged that the party was in an “unprecedented” situation, but will work to annoint another candidate, without naming names or giving details: The work that we must do now, while unprecedented, is clear. In the coming days, the Party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in November. This process will be governed by established rules and procedures of the Party. Our delegates are prepared to take seriously their responsibility in swiftly delivering a candidate to the American people.

Democrats are prepared and united in our resolve to win in November. As we move forward to formally select our Party’s nominee, our values as Democrats remain the same – lowering costs, restoring freedom, protecting the rights of all people, and saving our democracy from the threat of dictatorship. We have and will continue to make this case to the American people.

In short order, the American people will hear from the Democratic Party on next steps and the path forward for the nomination process.
 
If they wanted a transparent and orderly process to find their candidate then they wouldn't have put up Biden for reelection in the first place. They only did that so they could get around the elections and be able to do behind closed doors what they couldn't do otherwise if they had other people running for it instead of Biden. I wonder how Democrat voters must feel knowing their vote in the primaries was for nothing.

That's a good question; the reason Biden got the nod back in 2020 was their fear that Bernie Sanders would run away w/the nomination so they had to stack the deck for Biden.
Problem is, there's practically no bench for Dems' of top-tier candidates because many of the ones they'd need were wiped aside by Republicans across the electoral ladder the past decade or so.
