Vice President Kamala Harris to Secure Democratic Nomination

Harris to become presumed nominee at upcoming Democratic National Convention

Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough pledged delegates at the upcoming Democratic National Convention to be considered the presumptive nominee, according to projections from several major news outlets.

Pledged Delegates

As of August 1, Harris had received pledges from over 1,900 delegates, surpassing the 1,991 delegates needed to secure the nomination.

Upcoming Convention

The Democratic National Convention will be held virtually in early August, where delegates will officially cast their votes for the presidential nominee. Harris is expected to receive the majority of delegates, making her the presumptive nominee.

Biden's Endorsement

President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he will not seek reelection in 2024 and endorsed Harris as his successor.

Economic Outlook

While the economic outlook is more promising than when Biden took office in 2021, the economy remains a mixed bag. Inflation remains high, and consumer confidence is low.

Upcoming Roll Call

The Democratic National Committee will hold a virtual roll call in early August to select the presidential nominee. Harris is expected to receive the majority of votes and become the official nominee.
