Montgomery, Alabama
U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell has announced that all of Alabama’s delegates to the Democratic National Convention are supporting Kamala Harris.“Alabama’s delegates are all in for Kamala Harris!” Sewell said in a statment. “We are immensely grateful to President Biden for his transformative leadership and we look forward to continuing his legacy of accomplishment under Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Kamala Harris is exceptionally qualified, battle-tested, and ready to prosecute the case against Donald Trump, and win. In the spirit of unity and progress, we look forward to an energizing convention where we will cast our votes to make Kamala Harris our Democratic Nominee and the next President of the United States.”
The Democratic National Convention will be held in Chicago August 19-22. However, a virtual roll call of states may take place earlier to nominate the Democrats’ presidential and vice presidential candidates. Harris appears to have secured the support of enough Democratic delegates to become her party’s nominee against former President Donald Trump. That’s according to an Associated Press survey taken in the aftermath of President Biden’s decision to drop his bid for reelection.
The unofficial AP survey is only an indication that she has the backing of more than then 1,976 delegates she’ll need to win on a first ballot. But it shows she is the overwhelming choice of her party to replace Biden at the top of the ticket.
