Kamala Harris is Now the Presumptive Nominee
Kamala Harris is Now the Presumptive Nominee
Harris secured 2,668 delegates; 1,976 needed for nomination
We’ve been in touch a lot the last few days, so I will keep this short.
As I’m writing this, Kamala Harris has received 2,668 pledged delegates. 1,976 are needed to become the Democratic nominee.
This means Harris has all but secured the nomination for president.
Harris already has the endorsement of 42 of 47 Dem Senators, 186 of 212 Dem Reps, all Dem Governors, almost all state party chairs, 11 labor unions and numerous large Dem organizations.
No one is stealing the nomination from Kamala Harris. But until there is a vote, let’s not assume anything. We have to keep pushing folks to unite, and to do whatever we can to make sure donors and mainstream media don’t try and mess with this.

Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris on Becoming the Presumptive Democratic Nominee for President
“When I announced my campaign for President, I said I intended to go out and earn this nomination. Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party’s nominee, and as a daughter of California, I am proud that my home state’s delegation helped put our campaign over the top. I look forward to formally accepting the nomination soon.
“I am grateful to President Biden and everyone in the Democratic Party who has already put their faith in me, and I look forward to taking our case directly to the American people.
“This election will present a clear choice between two different visions. Donald Trump wants to take our country back to a time before many of us had full freedoms and equal rights. I believe in a future that strengthens our democracy, protects reproductive freedom and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead.
“Over the next few months, I will be traveling across the country talking to Americans about everything that is on the line. I fully intend to unite our party, unite our nation, and defeat Donald Trump in November.”
President Biden has to be beaming like a proud papa!! He has chosen someone to take up the torch and continue the work of saving this country from the wannabe autocratics!!!
