Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, has officially secured her place as the Democratic Party’s nominee for the 2024 presidential election.
Formal Nomination Announcement by DNC
The announcement was made by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Monday, following a week-long virtual roll call where pledged delegates cast their votes ahead of the party’s national convention in Chicago, scheduled to begin in two weeks.
Kicking Off Campaign Activities
This formal recognition of her candidacy comes on the eve of an important reveal—Harris will soon announce her selection for a running mate. To signal this new chapter, Harris and her anticipated partner will start their campaign tour with a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening.
A Solid Majority Secured
The culmination of Harris’s nomination was confirmed just three days after she obtained majority support from pledged delegates during the voting process that took place online. “I am thrilled to announce that Vice President Harris has surpassed more than half of all convention delegate votes and is now officially our nominee,” stated DNC chair Jaime Harrison following Friday’s voting results.
An Emotional Statement from Harris
Expressing gratitude towards her supporters during a conference call last Friday, she remarked, “I am deeply honored to be poised as your presumptive nominee for President.” Despite there being no rival candidates in this cycle who qualified for nomination consideration within their party rolls, this milestone is significant: it marks Harris as the first woman of color to lead a major political party’s national ticket in American history.
Ceremonial Roll Call Ahead
Although nominations were cast remotely due to ongoing circumstances, there are plans for a ceremonial roll call during stats at next month’s Democratic National Convention starting August 19th in Chicago.

Biden’s surprising exit stemmed from escalating calls within his party urging him to step aside following what many deemed an inadequate performance at his initial debate against Trump last month. At 81 years old, Biden showed signs amidst scrutiny regarding whether he could effectively govern another four years given concerns over both cognitive and physical stamina .
