Vice President Kamala Harris has become the presumed Democratic candidate for president in the 2024 election. Harris secured the support of a sufficient number of delegates on Monday, July 22, according to The Associated Press. The Vice President needed to secure the support of 1,976 delegates, and already 2,668 have pledged their support. Only 54 delegates have not yet made a decision.
Delegates are set to vote between August 1 and 7. The Democratic National Convention is scheduled to take place between August 19 and 22, when Harris will officially become the party’s candidate for the 2024 presidential election. After it was announced that Harris had secured the support of delegates, she released a statement thanking everyone for their support. «When I announced my campaign for president, I said I intended to earn this nomination», - she said, according to The New York Times. «Today, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party’s candidate».
Harris expressed her intention to run for president after President Joe Biden announced he was stepping out of the race on July 21. As he exited the race, Biden endorsed his Vice President as the best candidate for the position. «My very first decision as a party’s candidate in 2020 was to choose Kamala Harris as Vice President. And it was the best decision I made. Today, I want to express my full support and approval of Kamala as our party’s candidate this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and defeat Trump. Let’s do this», - he said.
After Biden’s approval, Harris shared her intentions to run and be a unifying voice for the Democratic Party. «On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his outstanding leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country», - she said. «It is an honor to have the support of the President, and my intention is to earn and win this nomination».
