Vice President Kamala Harris is rapidly securing the necessary Democratic delegates to clinch her party’s nomination and has set a new fundraising record in her initial 24 hours as a presidential candidate. Top Democrats are rallying behind her in their effort to defeat Republican Donald Trump.
The party is aiming to put the weeks of internal drama surrounding US President Joe Biden‘s prospects behind them, as prominent Democratic officials, party leaders, and political organisations quickly align themselves with Harris.This seismic shift in the presidential race has upended the carefully crafted plans of both major political parties for the 2024 election.
In an address to her campaign staff in Wilmington, Delaware, Harris acknowledged the recent “rollercoaster” but expressed confidence in her new campaign team. She declared, “It is my intention to go out and earn this nomination and to win.” Harris pledged to “unite our Democratic Party, to unite our nation, and to win this election.”
As her campaign for the White House gains momentum, Harris is set to visit the battleground state of Wisconsin on Tuesday, with her first full-fledged campaign event scheduled in Milwaukee since announcing her candidacy. Biden’s withdrawal has freed his delegates to support whomever they choose at next month’s convention, and Harris is working to quickly secure the backing of a majority. Major endorsements from governors and House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi have left a dwindling list of potential rivals.
More than 1,650 pledged delegates have informed The Associated Press or announced their intention to support Harris at the convention, surpassing three-quarters of the 1,976 benchmark set by Democratic National Committee rules.
However, winning the nomination is just the first item on Harris’s daunting political to-do list following Biden’s decision to exit the race.
