Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris has garnered the necessary support from delegates to receive the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.
According to the latest poll, Harris has received the support of 2,668 delegates.
This achievement positions her as the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.
Delegates who have expressed their preliminary support for Harris are expected to formalize their votes in the next few weeks, with the official nominee to be determined by August 7, before the Democratic Party’s National Convention.
“Tonight I am honored to have secured the extensive support needed to become our party’s nominee,” said Harris. “I look forward to formally accepting the nomination soon,” she added.
She was also endorsed by Bill and Hillary Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, ending speculation that Hillary Clinton was considering a new presidential run.
In addition, Harris received the endorsement of President Joe Biden following his unexpected withdrawal from the race on July 21.
