Today, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison announced that Vice President Kamala Harris has received a majority of the pledged and automatic delegates in the electronic roll call to soon secure the Democratic nomination. The Chair reaffirmed that voting for delegates remains open until August 5th at 6:00 PM ET, and encouraged all delegates to cast their vote in this historic roll call.
Statement from DNC Chair Jaime Harrison:
“In the span of just a few weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris continues to break records – and today is no different. With historic momentum and a groundswell of support, Vice President Harris has officially met the threshold, securing a majority of the delegates she needs to receive the Democratic nomination on Monday. With the support of more than 50 percent of all delegates just one day into voting, Vice President Harris has the overwhelming backing of the Democratic Party and will lead us united in our mission to defeat Donald Trump in November. But I want to be clear – there is still time for delegates to cast their ballots. I encourage every single delegate across the country to meet this moment and cast their ballot so that we head into our convention in Chicago with a show of force as a united Democratic Party.”
Voting will remain open until August 5th at 6:00 PM ET. Delegates should continue to cast their ballots up until that deadline. The DNC will announce final results following the close of the voting window, including state-by-state results.
