J.B. Pritzger and most of the Illinois Democratic Congressional Caucus have endorsed Kamala Harris.
Meanwhile, Illinois's most prominent political figure, Barack Obama, has come out in favor of an open convention.
The most charitable assessment that I con offer for this, and I have never been inclined to give Obama the benefit of the doubt, is that he wants to play king-maker at the convention, because he wants to make sure that what he sees as his legacy, including the increasingly dysfunctional PPACA (Obamacare) is preserved.
Considering the fact that the only person even briefly making noises right now about challenging Harris for the nomination is ex-Democrat Jim Manchin, though only for about 18 hours.
As it stands now, it appears that Harris might get sufficient delegates pledged to her to put her over the top in the next few days.
I expect the proverbial fat lady to sing some time in the next day or so.
