Harris is set to become the Democratic nominee after voting closes on Monday.
Watch the 6abc Philadelphia 24/7 stream featuring Action News, AccuWeather and EntertainmentVice President Kamala Harris Harris was already deemed the presumptive nominee by the Democratic National Committee on Tuesday after she emerged from a process, laid out by the party's Rules Committee, as the only qualified candidate.
"Democratic delegates from across the nation made their voices heard, overwhelmingly backing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee," a statement from DNC Chair Jamie Harrison and DNCC Chair Minyon Moore released on Tuesday night said. The DNC said on Tuesday that these three individuals did not make the threshold of 300 delegate signatures to qualify for the ballot.
After the 2016 election, the party passed changes that allowed superdelegates to vote only on the second and subsequent ballots. Party rules do allow superdelegates to vote on the first ballot if a candidate has either won a majority of pledged delegates through the primary and caucus process, like Biden did, or submitted the signatures of a majority of total delegates, as Harris did.The DNC has not provided details on how or when the results of the roll call vote will be released.
The state legislature eventually rectified the issue, but the DNC has argued that Republican lawmakers in Ohio are acting in bad faith and that the Democratic candidate needs to be nominated earlier than the convention to avoid legal issues. Ohio leaders have denied this allegation.
