U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has secured a majority of delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination, following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race amid concerns over his age and health. Harris' campaign reported raising an impressive $81 million in just 24 hours.

Harris' swift consolidation of party support was marked by endorsements from prominent figures including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the AFL-CIO labor union. Governors Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, and Andy Beshear also announced their backing of Harris.

The Trump campaign has launched critiques targeting Harris' record and liberal stance, even as they prepare for her rise in the race. Meanwhile, Trump's own legal challenges continue to unfold as he faces sentencing and charges related to his 2020 election loss.
