WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough votes from Democratic delegates to become the party’s nominee for president, Democratic Nation
by WILL WEISSERT and CHRIS MEGERIAN Associated PressFILE - Vice President Kamala Harris delivers remarks at a Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority gathering in Houston, July 31, 2024, in Houston.
The online voting process doesn’t end until Monday, but the campaign marked the moment when she crossed the threshold to have the majority of delegates’ votes.“I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee," Harris said on a call with supporters. Democrats have pushed ahead with a virtual vote to nominate Harris, nearing the culmination of a turbulent process that was upended by President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek reelection.
The formal nomination is expected to be finalized by Aug. 7 even though the party's convention in Chicago isn't scheduled to begin for more than two more weeks. Democratic officials have said the accelerated timeline was necessary because of an Aug. 7 deadline to ensure candidates appear on the Ohio ballot.
