Kamala Harris Secures Democratic Presidential Nomination with Overwhelming Delegate Support

Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough delegates to claim the Democratic presidential nomination, according to campaign sources. An Associated Press tally revealed she has 2,214 delegates, surpassing the simple majority required. However, the survey is unofficial as delegates can vote for any candidate during the formal nomination process.

Vice President Kamala Harris has surpassed the number of delegates needed to secure the Democratic presidential nomination, campaign sources disclosed to Reuters on Monday night.

The Associated Press tally indicates that Harris accumulated 2,214 delegates, significantly more than the simple majority required to clinch the nomination on the first ballot.

However, the AP cautioned that the tally is unofficial as Democratic delegates retain the freedom to vote for any candidate of their choice when the party formally chooses its candidate.
