Kamala Harris secures endorsement to win Democratic nomination

Vice President Kamala Harris secured enough delegates on Monday to secure the Democratic Party’s nomination for the November presidential election, California Congressman Robert Garcia said.

“California just voted unanimously to nominate Kamala Harris for president. “Our delegates put the VP above the number she needs to be our convention nominee!” Garcia wrote in X.

To win in the first round of voting, a candidate needs the support of at least 1,976 delegates out of 4,000.

These pledges of support from delegates are a symbolic show of support for Harris, as delegates can change their minds before the August vote.

Harris will not officially become the party’s presidential nominee until delegates formally vote in a virtual roll call, which is expected to conclude on Aug. 7.

The vice president, who announced her candidacy yesterday after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, is already the front-runner for the Democratic nomination after winning the endorsements of Biden, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and every Democratic governor in the country, several of whom have emerged as possible candidates.

However, other candidates may be nominated if they receive signatures from at least 300 delegates and no more than 50 from any one state.

If only one candidate, likely Harris, reaches the 300-signature threshold, a virtual vote could take place as early as Aug. 1, party officials told local media Monday, while if there are multiple candidates, the vote would take place a few days later but be completed by Aug. 7.

Meanwhile, if the nomination takes place in early August, the Democratic Party convention, which will be held on August 19 in Chicago, will be purely ceremonial. EFE
