Kamala Harris has reportedly secured the support of enough Democratic delegates to become the party's nominee for the upcoming US presidential election. According to an Associated Press survey, Kamala Harris has crossed the 1,976 mark needed to secure the nomination. This development comes as US President Joe Biden withdraws his candidacy for the second term.
As per the survey, Kamala Harris had the support of 2,668 delegates. However, the Associated Press also noted that the survey is an unofficial tally, as Democratic delegates are free to vote for the candidate of their choice. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris also said in a statement that she secured the broad support needed to become the party’s nominee. "Over the next few months, I'll be traveling across the country talking to Americans about everything on the line. I fully intend to unite our party and our nation, and defeat Donald Trump," added Kamala Harris in a post on X.
Tonight, I am proud to have earned the support needed to become our party’s nominee.
