Kamala Harris Gets Biden’s Stamp of Approval as Democratic Candidate
US President Joe Biden has congratulated Vice President Kamala Harris on securing the Democratic party’s presidential nomination. This marks a significant milestone in Harris’s political career.
Harris, 59, made history by becoming the first Black and South Asian woman to secure a major party’s nomination. This achievement is a testament to her dedication and hard work.
She will face Republican Donald Trump in the November election, setting the stage for a highly contested and closely watched race.
Harris was the sole candidate on the ballot for a five-day electronic vote of nearly 4,000 party convention delegates. This unanimous support from the delegates demonstrates the party’s confidence in her leadership.
She will be officially crowned at a Chicago convention later this month, where she will accept the nomination and outline her vision for the country.
“I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States,” Harris said, expressing her gratitude and humility.
Biden ended his reelection bid two weeks ago, paving the way for Harris to take control of the party and build momentum for her campaign.

Harris has gained momentum, smashing fundraising records and packing arenas with enthusiastic supporters. Her campaign is gaining traction and excitement.
“I couldn’t be prouder,” Biden posted on social media after her nomination, expressing his pride and support for his former running mate.
Harris will hit the campaign trail next week, visiting seven crucial election states alongside her yet-to-be-named running mate. This tour will help her connect with voters and build support in key states.
The Democratic Party used a virtual nomination process due to an early deadline in Ohio for submitting certified candidates. This innovative approach allowed the party to adapt to challenging circumstances.
The virtual roll call marks the official beginning of the 2024 convention, which will be a celebration of Harris’s nomination and a call to action for Democrats.
Harris has made a fast start, raising $310 million in July, according to her campaign. This impressive fundraising haul demonstrates her ability to mobilize resources and support.
She and her running mate are scheduled to rally in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state that will be closely contested in the election.
Harris will also tour Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada to shore up the Black and Hispanic vote, which will be critical in determining the outcome of the election.
