Election 2024 Latest: DNC chair says Harris secured enough delegate votes to become party nominee
Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison says Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough votes from party delegates to become the party's presidential nominee
Vice President Kamala Harris had secured enough votes from Democratic delegates to become the party’s nominee for president, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison said Friday.
The online voting process doesn’t end until Monday, but Harris' campaign marked the moment when she crossed the threshold to have the majority of delegates’ votes.
The announcement came after the campaign said earlier that it raised $310 million last month, an eyepopping sum showing that donors who once seemed spooked about the prospects for November’s election with President Joe Biden are now offering mountains of cash to boost his former No. 2.
The haul by Harris, the Democratic National Committee and affiliated entities far outpaced Republican former President Donald Trump, whose campaign and assorted committees said they took in $138.7 million for July.
