Kamala Harris Secures Democratic Nomination For US President
In a historic moment, Kamala Harris has become the first Black woman and South Asian American to secure a major party’s presidential nomination. Harris, 59, was the sole candidate on the ballot for a five-day electronic vote of nearly 4,000 party convention delegates.
“I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States,” Harris said on a phone-in to a party celebration after securing enough votes by the second day of the marathon virtual vote. “I couldn’t be prouder,” former President Joe Biden posted on X after her nomination.
Since Biden ended his reelection bid two weeks ago, Harris has gained full control of the party, smashing fundraising records, packing arenas, and erasing the polling leads Donald Trump had built over the president. She has raised $310 million in July, according to her campaign – more than double Trump’s haul.
Harris is preparing to hit the campaign trail next week for a swing across seven crucial election states alongside her yet-to-benamed running mate. The Democratic Party decided on a virtual nomination process due to an early deadline in Ohio for submitting the names of certified candidates.
The virtual roll call marks the official beginning of the 2024 convention, with the more traditional festivities getting going when thousands of party faithful descend on Chicago on August 19. The gathering will feature a ceremonial vote for Harris in what is expected to be a raucous celebration of her rise from California prosecutor to historic candidate vying for the nation’s highest office.
Trump’s White House bid was turned upside down on July 21 when 81-year-old Biden, facing growing concerns about his age and lagging polling numbers, withdrew his candidacy and backed Harris. Energetic and two decades younger than 78-year-old Trump, the vice president has made a fast start.
Harris and her running mate are scheduled to rally Tuesday in Pennsylvania – a crucial swing state, where Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro is on the shortlist to join Harris’s ticket. Biden beat Trump in Pennsylvania in 2020 by around 80,000 votes, and it is seen as the biggest prize of the closely fought battlegrounds that decide the Electoral College system.
