Kamala Harris gets enough delegates to secure Democratic nomination - despite never winning a primary | 2 Aug 2024 | Kamala Harris got enough delegate votes Friday in the virtual roll call process to become the official Democratic nominee. The deadline for DNC delegates to turn in their electronic ballot is on Monday, but by Friday afternoon, Harris already had the majority of delegate support secured. "I am so proud to confirm that Vice President [sic] Harris has earned more than a majority of votes from all convention delegates and will be the nominee of the Democratic Party following the close of voting on Monday," DNC chair Jaime Harrison said in a call. Harris called into the Delaware HQ to celebrate and said she will accept the nomination after the deadline eclipses on Monday.
