VP Kamala Harris Gets US Democratic Presidential Nomination
US Vice President Kamala Harris effectively secured the Democratic party’s presidential nomination Friday.
This means her confirmation has made her the party standard bearer in November’s showdown against Republican candidate, Donald Trump.
A 59-year-old Harris, was the sole candidate on the ballot for a five-day electronic vote of nearly 4,000 party convention delegates. The first Black and South Asian woman ever to secure a major party’s nomination, she will be officially crowned at a Chicago convention later this month.
While speaking on a phone-in to a party celebration after securing….enough votes by the second day of the marathon virtual vote, Harris said: “I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States.”
In the two weeks since Joe Biden ended his reelection bid, Harris has gained full control of the party, smashing fundraising records, packing arenas and erasing the polling leads Trump had built over the president.
“I couldn’t be prouder,” Biden posted on X after her nomination.
______The nomination milestone came with Harris preparing to hit the campaign trail next week for a swing across seven crucial election states alongside her yet-to-be-named running mate.(AFP)
