Vice President of the United States of America (USA), VP Kamala Harris has officially emerged as the candidate of the Democratic Party for the U.S. 2024 presidential election.
Harris emerged presidential candidate of the Democratic Party on Friday after securing the majority of delegates’ votes in a virtual roll call.
“I am honoured to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. I will officially accept the nomination next week. This campaign is about people coming together, fuelled by love of country, to fight for the best of who we are,” Harris stated shortly after.
Though the online voting process ends on Monday, Harris has crossed the threshold to become the candidate of the party for the U.S. 2024 presidential election.
Recall that President Joe Biden, presumptive Democratic nominee, had on July 21, 2024, pulled out of the election race and endorsed Harris. Jamie Harrison, chair of the Democratic National Committee, announced the emergence of Harris as the party’s flag bearer for the U.S. election during a call with supporters.
