Vice-President Kamala Harris has garnered sufficient support from Democratic delegates to become the party’s presidential nominee, according to CBS News. An Associated Press survey indicated Harris received endorsements from over the 1,976 delegates required for a first-round nomination victory.
Harris expressed her pride in the broad support, eagerly anticipating her formal nomination. Delegates, who represent their electoral areas at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), have voiced their support, making it likely Harris will clinch the nomination if the support holds until the voting in early August.
Since President Joe Biden exited the race, Harris has seen a surge in donations and endorsements from prominent Democrats. At her campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, Harris addressed her team, emphasizing the remaining 106 days until Election Day and the hard work ahead.
She outlined her vision, contrasting it with Donald Trump’s campaign, and highlighted Biden’s achievements during his presidency, expressing deep respect for him. Harris committed to uniting Democrats and the nation, promising a brighter future.
