Vice President Kamala Harris has officially received enough vote to become democratic party nominee after delegate voted in a virtual roll call on Monday.
Confirming the development, Democratic National Committee chairman Jaime Harrison said on Friday that “I am so proud to confirm that Vice President Harris has earned more than a majority of votes from all convention delegates and will be the nominee of the Democratic Party following the close of voting on Monday.
“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.
“You denominated your dedication and your commitment to this process.”
Convention delegates have been virtually voting by email or phone since 9am on Thursday in a virtual roll call set up by the Democratic National Committee.
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.
