Here's how the virtual process works.Friday, August 2, 2024 5:36PMVice President Kamala Harris has enough Democratic Party delegate votes in a virtual roll call to earn the party's nomination when the roll call ends Monday, Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison announced Friday.
"You returned your nomination petitions at lightning speed. You made your voices heard. And what you said was clear: We are not going back. We have to send Kamala Harris to the White House," Harrison said during a video call on Friday. "You denominated your dedication and your commitment to this process."
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.Kamala Harris becomes presumptive Democratic nominee, rails at Trump for not committing to debate
Friday's announcement marks a major milestone of Harris' rapid ascension to the top of the ticket, which comes just 12 days after President Joe Biden ended his campaign for reelection on July 21 -- a remarkable show of unity for a party that just weeks ago stood deeply divided over what to do about the president's candidacy.
