In an extraordinary show of support, Vice President Kamala Harris has raised an unbelievable $100 million since announcing her candidacy for president. An incredible amount was raised between Sunday afternoon, when President Biden made his announcement, and Monday night. The Harris campaign claims that the Democratic National Committee and its affiliated fundraising groups were responsible for raising the funds.
In addition, more than 58,000 people have signed up to volunteer for Harris’s campaign—a number that exceeds the average daily signup rate by a factor of 100.
Vice President Kamala Harris expressed her delight after garnering enough delegates’ pledges to be the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee. In a statement, Harris said, “I said I intended to go out and earn this nomination when I announced my campaign for president.” It is a privilege to have obtained the broad endorsement necessary to proceed as our party’s nominee this evening.
Furthermore, Harris conveyed her appreciation for the backing of President Biden and other Democratic leaders, in addition to the endorsements she has already received. She took the opportunity to outline her platform for a future in which everyone would have equal opportunities, reproductive freedom would be safeguarded, and democracy would be enhanced, as well as to draw attention to the differences between herself and Republican contender Donald Trump.
As she concluded her speech, Harris stated, “Over the next few months, I will be traveling across the country talking to Americans about everything that is on the line.” My goal is to defeat Donald Trump in November and unite our nation and party.
As long as they all show up to vote, Harris has amassed enough delegates’ promises, according to ABC News, to be the assumed Democratic nominee.
As the presumptive Democratic contender for president, vice president Kamala Harris reportedly has enough delegates committed to back her—as long as they cast ballots in favor of her. This is crucial because delegates are free to cast their ballots in accordance with their own opinions, meaning that Harris does not automatically receive the delegates that President Biden received during the primaries.
In addition to the 1,975 delegates required to earn the nomination, Harris has received non-binding endorsements from at least 2,208 delegates, according to the most current report. This is a major turning point in Harris’ campaign as it positions her as the Democratic Party’s nominee for president in the upcoming election.
