US Vice President Kamala Harris formally secured the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination on Monday, becoming the first woman of colour to lead a majority party ticket, The Associated Press reported.
The nomination of Harris, 59, who became the first female Vice President in America’s history in the 2020 elections, became official after a five-day online voting by the Democratic National Convention delegates concluded on Monday night.
On July 2, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison said that Kamala Harris has secured adequate Democratic delegate votes to become the party’s nominee for president.
The US Vice President also acknowledged the same on X, saying she was “honoured” to be the Democratic nominee for the November presidential elections.
“I will officially accept the nomination next week. This campaign is about people coming together, fueled by love of country, to fight for the best of who we are,” she tweeted.
