Harris Officially Wins Democratic Nomination After Roll-Call Vote

Vice President Kamala Harris was assured of the Democratic presidential nomination as the party conducted its virtual roll call vote.

Over the last five days, delegates voted for the nomination, according to a statement released by the Democratic National Committee.

Harris garnered support from 3,923 delegates, which allowed her to appear on the virtual ballot. Three other candidates filed to appear on the virtual ballot but did not collect the 300 delegate signatures required. Harris saw no serious candidates try to win the Democratic bid.

The roll-call vote will end the rapid nomination process that began after President Joe Biden dropped from the race and endorsed Harris as his pick on July 21. The rapid timeline led to quick support for Harris from donors, officials and activists.

The DNC decided on a virtual roll-call process due to Republican legal challenges for ballot access in Ohio.

Harris “has the verified support of pledged delegates equal to or greater than a majority of all pledged and automatic delegates,” according to the statement.

Jamie Harrison, the DNC chair, and Minyon Moore, the DNC convention chair, issued a joint statement to discuss Harris’ nomination.

“Democratic delegates from across the nation made their voices heard, overwhelmingly backing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee,” the statement read. “Our party has met this unprecedented moment with a transparent, democratic and orderly process to unite behind a nominee with a proven record who will lead us in the fight ahead.”
