Kamala Harris Secures Enough Delegates Support to Be Party’s Presidential Nominee

Vice President Kamala Harris has gained the support of enough Democratic delegates to become the party’s nominee against Republican Donald Trump. This was confirmed by a survey from the Associated Press (AP). Top Democrats have rallied behind Harris after President Joe Biden decided not to run for reelection.

The quick support for Harris aims to move past weeks of internal party debates about Biden’s political future and focus on defeating Trump with just over 100 days until Election Day. Prominent Democratic officials, party leaders, and political organizations showed their support for Harris right after Biden’s announcement.

Democrats have poured $81 million (£62 million) into Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday. This is the largest amount of campaign funding ever raised in a 24-hour period, with more than 888,000 donors contributing less than $200 each in the day after Biden stepped aside

Several state delegations, including Texas and Harris’s home state of California, met late Monday to confirm their support for her. By Monday night, Harris had well over the 1,976 delegates needed to win on the first ballot, according to the AP count.
