Survey Reveals Kamala Harris Secures Enough Delegates To Become Democratic Nominee

Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough Democratic delegates to become the party’s nominee against Republican Donald Trump, according to an Associated Press survey. 

This support came in the wake of President Joe Biden’s decision to drop his bid for reelection. The party quickly united behind Harris, aiming to move past internal disputes and focus on defeating Trump with just over 100 days until Election Day.

Top Democratic leaders and organizations rallied behind Harris, and her campaign set a new 24-hour record for presidential donations. State delegations, including those from Texas and California, confirmed their support for Harris, and by Monday night, she had well over the 1,976 delegates needed to win on the first ballot, according to the AP tally.

California Democratic Chairman Rusty Hicks noted the overwhelming support for Harris within the state’s delegation. Although the AP hasn't formally declared Harris the presumptive nominee due to the upcoming convention vote, the momentum is firmly behind her.

In a statement, Harris expressed gratitude to President Biden and the Democratic Party for their support. She emphasized her intention to earn the nomination and win the election, focusing on uniting the party and the nation.

Biden, addressing his decision to step aside, expressed his unwavering support for Harris. He affirmed his commitment to campaign on her behalf and urged Democrats to continue their mission to defeat Trump.

Harris's campaign, which swiftly transitioned from Biden’s reelection effort, experienced a surge in donations and volunteer registrations. High-profile endorsements, including from governors and party leaders, solidified her position.

The Democratic National Convention is set for August, with a virtual roll call expected to formalize Harris’s nomination. If elected, Harris would make history as the first woman and first person of South Asian descent to become president.
