US Vice President Kamala Harris has received enough delegate support to receive the Democratic presidential nomination. She is expected to be nominated by August 7.
Source: CNN with reference to the delegate vote estimates.
Details: According to the publication, significantly more than 1,976 delegates have pledged to support Harris in the first ballot.
This means that Harris has already crossed the threshold of necessary support.
CNN writes that such support is not binding, and since President Joe Biden has dropped out of the race, delegates are free to vote for the candidate of their choice.
“CNN counts votes based on public statements of support from delegates and state delegations, reports, and conversations with delegates. Support from state delegations is counted as unanimous support for Harris unless we receive other information,” the publication says.
According to the plan presented by Democratic Party officials on Monday, delegates are expected to vote on Harris' nomination for president by August 7.
