In the two weeks since Joe Biden ended his reelection bid, Harris has gained full control of the Democrats. Now she's officially the party's presidential nominee.
United States Vice-President Kamala Harris effectively secured the Democratic party's presidential nomination on Friday . Harris was the sole candidate on the ballot for a five-day electronic vote of nearly 4,000 party convention delegates. She is the first Black and South Asian woman to ever secure a major party's nomination. She will be officially crowned at a Chicago convention later this month.
"I couldn't be prouder," Biden posted on X following her nomination. The nomination milestone came with Harris preparing to hit the campaign trail new week for a swing across seven crucial election states alongside her yet-to-be-named running mate. Harris and her running mate are scheduled to rally Tuesday in Pennsylvania — a crucial swing state, where Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro is on the shortlist to join Harris' ticket.
