Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign said she has enough Democratic delegate votes to secure the party’s presidential nomination, according to Democratic National Committee Chair Jamie Harrison.
The virtual roll call doesn’t end until Monday.
Democrats have pushed ahead with a virtual vote to nominate Harris, nearing the culmination of a turbulent process that was upended by President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek reelection.Delegates to the Democratic National Convention began voting via secure email on Thursday, and the voting will remain open until Monday evening. Harris has not yet chosen her running mate, and she’s expected to interview candidates over the weekend.The formal nomination is expected to be finalized by Aug. 7 even though the party’s convention in Chicago isn’t scheduled to begin for more than two more weeks. Democratic officials have said the accelerated timeline was necessary because of an Aug. 7 deadline to ensure candidates appear on the Ohio ballot.
The DNC will have a traditional roll call at the DNC, but it’ll be ceremonial due to the virtual roll call.
Again, what a joke. But “democracy,” you guys.
