Kamala Harris is now the first woman of color in U.S. history to become a major-party presidential nominee.
Vice President Harris is now the Democratic presidential nominee for 2024, making her the first woman of color in U.S. history to become a major-party presidential nominee.
The nomination became official Monday evening, with the culmination of Democrats' multi-day, virtual delegate roll call. The historic vote marked the end of a stunning stretch in American politics, as the roll call opened less than two weeks after President Biden dropped his reelection bid and endorsed his vice president.The Democratic National Committee said in a statement that 99% of the participating delegates voted for Harris. The next step is for the roll call to be certified and for Harris and her running mate to formally accept the nomination at the party’s convention later this month in Chicago.
The vice president joined a call Friday highlighting that step, telling viewers:"We are going to win this election." Harris now faces the first high-profile decision as nominee: naming her running mate. Her campaign has announced the new ticket will hold rallies in swing states throughout the week, beginning Tuesday in Pennsylvania.
