He drew parallels to the 2016 election when Hillary Clinton was similarly designated as the party&#8217;s nominee based on expectations of her victory, which ultimately did not materialize. O&#8217;Leary argued that like Clinton, Harris secured her nomination through this process and predicted that if she loses to Donald Trump in November, the party may again choose another candidate without proper competition.
