Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough votes from delegates to become her party’s nominee for president, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison said Friday.

The announcement was made before the online voting process ends on Monday, reflecting the breakneck speed of a campaign that is eager to maintain momentum after President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid and endorsed Harris as his successor less than two weeks ago.

Harris is poised to be the first woman of color at the top of a major party’s ticket, and she joined a call with supporters to say she is “honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee.”

“It’s not going to be easy. But we’re going to get this done,” she added. “As your future president, I know we are up to this fight.”

Harrison pledged that Democrats “will rally around Vice President Kamala Harris and demonstrate the strength of our party” during their convention in Chicago later this month.

The Democratic National Committee did not provide details of the delegate vote count, including a number or state-by-state breakdowns, during a virtual event that had the flavor of a telethon, with campaign officials keeping tabs on a delegate-counting process whose result is a foregone conclusion.

No other candidate challenged Harris for the nomination, and she swiftly solidified Democratic support in the days after Biden endorsed her.

Democrats still plan a state-by-state roll call during the party’s convention, the traditional way that a nominee is chosen. However, that will be purely ceremonial because of the online voting.

As Harris prepares to face off with Republican nominee Donald Trump, her campaign is reorganizing its senior staff and bringing on a coterie of veterans of President Barack Obama’s successful campaigns.

I am honored to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. I will officially accept the nomination next week.

This campaign is about people coming together, fueled by love of country, to fight for the best of who we are.

Kamala Harris

Let's see how this goes

Congratulations, Madam Vice President

Congratulations President Trump for a second tenure as POTUS

ok

COMRADES, honestly, I want Trump to win because the Democrats are the ones who foisted this useless APC on Nigerians

Those of you quoting or trolling me because of this fact, sorry! I can't joint issues with you guys because you're geo-political-novices (you don't know how the Americans operate secretly on local politics of the weaker/smaller nations)

I would be delighted to see women with significant and selfless political ambitions making an impact in Nigerian politics.
I can't really guess what the outcome America's election would be but I pray it's nice.

Ours was supposed to be better by now if not for fools who voted for their king.

Now everyone is wailing.

Congrats

When you support Harris, you continue with propagating policies like LBTQ etc

I stand for Trump

As popular as Hilary Clinton, Trump defeated her as first timer.
Am sure Trump will defeat Harris, no matter the fight from Democrats.
