The Democratic Party of Arkansas (DPA) held a virtual meeting on Monday, July 22, 2023, to select their delegates to the 2024 Democratic National Convention. During the meeting, the DPA delegation voted unanimously to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

The DPA delegation is made up of 36 delegates who were elected by the party's members at the state convention on Saturday, July 21, 2023. The delegates will represent Arkansas at the Democratic National Convention, which is scheduled to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from July 15-18, 2024.

In their endorsement resolution, the DPA delegation praised Harris's “experience, leadership, and commitment to the values of the Democratic Party.” The resolution also noted Harris's “strong record of fighting for working families, protecting reproductive rights, and taking on the climate crisis.”

Harris is the first woman and the first person of color to be elected vice president of the United States. She has been a vocal advocate for progressive causes, including affordable healthcare, gun control, and immigration reform.

The endorsement by the Arkansas delegation is a significant boost for Harris's presidential campaign. Arkansas is a traditionally red state, but Harris's endorsement by the state's Democratic Party suggests that she is making inroads with voters in the state.

The 2024 Democratic National Convention will be a major event in the presidential election. The convention will be the first time that the Democratic Party nominates its presidential candidate since 2020.
