Vice President Kamala Harris officially becomes Democratic presidential nominee

Vice President Kamala Harris, a daughter of immigrants who rose through the California political and law enforcement ranks to become the first female vice president in U.S. history, has secured the Democratic presidential nomination.

More than four years after her first attempt at the presidency collapsed, Harris’ coronation as her party’s standard-bearer will cap a tumultuous and frenetic period for Democrats prompted by President Joe Biden’s disastrous June debate performance that shattered his own supporters’ confidence in his reelection prospects and spurred extraordinary intraparty warfare about whether he should stay in the race.

Just as soon as Biden abruptly ended his candidacy, Harris and her team worked rapidly to secure backing from the 1,976 party delegates needed to clinch the nomination in a formal roll call vote. She reached that marker at warp speed, with an Associated Press survey of delegates nationwide showing she locked down the necessary commitments a mere 32 hours after Biden’s announcement.

Harris' nomination became official after a five-day round of online balloting by Democratic National Convention delegates that ended Monday night. The party had long contemplated the early virtual roll call to ensure Biden would appear on the ballot in every state.

She is learning new ways to communicate? That's good because so far she has been spilling gibberish.

[danielquinones]

How without a primary. How can you call yourself Democrats without a democratic vote which was never held

[drdiabetes]

God help us all. Just when you think it can't be worse than biden, you realize this woman has to be the most inept and pathetic excuse for a candidate that they could've chose.

I don't do this to our country. Please.

So much for Democracy. I guess the people don't matter.

Sweet, a bureaucrat who no one choose, has been responsible for the border disaster, and cannot have a serious conversation for the life of her.

[juliemortenson]

She is and has been in on the failing policies of the current administration.

[PC-tcje]

“Do not come. Do not come.” - her border policy…

[antennaandy]

Installed, the people didn't vote for her.

[BentonL]

If the parties was swapped there would be outrage that the candidate did not go through the process. Double standards, and what's messed up is she will likely win.

[dobbin]

It was just like Stalins Soviet Union she didn't get a singe vote. Delegates were not giving a choice and no write ins allowed. They know if delegates had a choice she wouldn't be the nominee

[cristianzaharescu]

How?! She didn't get any vote! She was coronated by Obama and Clinton!😂😂😂

[Seer]

Appointed. No Votes Needed. Next She will shortly be Appointed to replace Biden after he finishes negotiations, she will later pardon the crime family and go into the 2024 election as President Kackle.

Bypassed the democratic process and I’m a democrat. At least I was. Kennedy 24
