US Presidential Election: Kamala Harris has Enough Votes to Secure Democratic Nomination
United States (US) Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough votes to be named the official Democratic presidential nominee, the Democratic National Committee said on Friday (Aug 2). Her nomination took place via a virtual vote.
Harris was the only candidate on the ballot for the five-day electronic vote after 4,000 delegates — the grassroots activists and politicians allocated during the primary process — signed petitions backing her candidacy.
Harris reacts: I’m honoured
Sealing the Democratic nomination for the presidential election, Harris, 59, said she was honoured. “I am honoured to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States,” she said.
In the two weeks since President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid, Harris has gained full control of the Democratic party.
A report by the news agency AFP said that Harris already smashed fundraising records, packed arenas, and wiped out her rival and former US President Donald Trump’s polling leads over Biden, creating momentum that she hopes she can ride through the convention to the White House.
