Kamala Harris, Who Made History As Vice President, Secures Democratic Presidential Nomination
HuffPost
President Joe Biden's withdrawal and endorsement of Harris has already prompted a wave of Democratic enthusiasm and donations.
Vice President Kamala Harris officially locked up the Democratic presidential nomination on Friday after receiving the support of a majority of Democratic convention delegates in a virtual roll-call vote.
The expedited roll-call vote, which began Thursday ― more than two weeks before the convention is set to begin in Chicago ― does not conclude until Monday evening. But the Democratic National Committee said on a call with supporters on Friday afternoon that Harris had already crossed the majority threshold needed for the official nomination.
The nomination reflects Democrats’ determination to project unity following President Joe Biden’s historic July 21 decision not to seek a second term. The weeks preceding Biden’s announcement were marked by chaos and intra-party dissension after a disastrous June 27 debate performance raised serious doubts about how Biden’s age and fitness would affect his ability to compete.
Biden endorsed Harris shortly after withdrawing, spurring a wave of relief and excitement among Democrats that fueled a massive fundraising haul for Harris.
Republicans, by contrast, have struggled to find their footing against Harris in the short period since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee.
