In a significant milestone, Vice President Kamala Harris has garnered the support of the majority of Democratic delegates, surpassing the required 1,976 delegates needed for a first-round nomination.
This development positions her to challenge Republican Donald Trump in the highly anticipated November presidential election.
The delegates’ support will be formally confirmed in a roll call vote at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month.
Harris’s campaign has experienced a surge in donations and endorsements since President Joe Biden exited the race, citing pressure from party leaders and a disappointing debate performance against Trump.
Biden has since endorsed Harris, praising her experience as a prosecutor and her vision for America’s future.
Harris has emphasized her prosecutorial background and contrasted her vision for the country with Trump’s, setting the stage for a contentious general election.
