Kamala Harris Secures Presidential Nomination from Democrats

(3 Minutes Read)

She has secured the support of 99% of delegates.  The party said it would next formally certify the vote before holding a celebratory roll call at the party’s convention later this month in Chicago.

US Vice President Kamala Harri formally secured the Democratic presidential nomination on Monday. She has become the first woman of colour to run for the president’s post by representing a major party. Harris is a wild card entry to the contestant result from the Democrats on account of President Joe Biden’s disastrous June debate performance.

Harris’s nomination became official after a five-day round of online balloting by Democratic National Convention delegates ended Monday night.  She has secured the support of 99% of delegates.  The party said it would next formally certify the vote before holding a celebratory roll call at the party’s convention later this month in Chicago. Many feel that she would use her prosecutorial background to lambast Trump and his 34 felony convictions for falsifying business records in connection with a hush-money scheme.
