Harris secures delegates for Democratic nomination in roll call vote

By and 08/02/2024 | updated 1 year ago

Vice President Kamala Harris has received the delegates needed to become the new 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison announced on Friday.

“I am so proud to confirm that Vice President Harris has earned more than a majority of votes from all convention delegates and will be the nominee of the Democratic Party following the close of voting on Monday,” Harrison said on a call covering the virtual roll call vote.

Harris’s nomination means she will be the first black and South Asian woman to lead a major party’s ticket in the fall.

Harrison announced Harris had secured 2,350 votes, more than a majority of delegates, by 1:16 p.m., though delegates can continue to cast their ballots until Monday, Aug. 5 at 6 p.m.

Harris, who will replace President Joe Biden after he dropped out of the race two weeks ago, will accept the nomination formally during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago later this month.

“I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States,” Harris said on the call. “We will gather in Chicago united as one party, where we’re going to have an opportunity to celebrate this historic moment together.”

But Harris, who is experiencing a surge in polling and fundraising numbers, added Democrats have “have a lot of work to do” to defeat former President Donald Trump in November.

“This campaign is about all of us coming together, people coming together from every walk of life, every lived experience, and being fueled by our love of country, knowing that we are prepared to fight for the best of who we are,” she said. “It’s not going to be easy, but we’re going to, we’re going to get this done. And as your future president, I know we are up to this fight.”
