I asked; commenters (sort of) answered

Over at Instapundit, I left the following question:

I'm hearing different things about whether Kamala is the official nominee. Vivek keeps saying he thinks she'll be shoved aside. Others are saying the optics of shoving a woman of color aside are too horrible to contemplate, so she has to be the Dems' pick. Otherwise, I'm hearing variants of
a. She's locked the nomination.
b. She's halfway/most of the way there.
c. There'll be an open primary, and nothing is guaranteed.

Does anyone have any clarification? The news keeps changing by the hour.

I also read that the Trump campaign (not Trump himself) has filed an FEC complaint about what appears to be Kamala's cavalier appropriation of almost $100 million in campaign funds, presumably from Biden's coffers. I guess she assumes it's all hers. The smug feeling of entitlement.

Two replies arrived:

1. 0bama doesn't want her, and could fight to open the nomination. 

Reports that she's secured the necessary delegates come from the same Gaslight Media that sneered at questions about Joe's cognitive decline until the debate made that untenable -- so take anything they say in Kneepads' favor with a carload of salt.

Likewise the claims of enthusiastic fundraising performance.

It's all a return of the Biden-era kabuki.

2. If it boils down to C, then Chicago will become a fire pit.

So—no clarity as of yet, just more thoughts.
