Washington: Bringing cheers to the supporters of Democratic Party, Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough votes from Democratic delegates to win the party’s nomination for president. The announcement was made by Democratic National Committee Chair Jamie Harrison during a call with supporters.
“I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States,” Harris declared in a Harris for President campaign call. The online voting process was scheduled to end on Monday, but Harris broke the threshold to receive the majority of the delegates’ votes ahead of schedule.
