Kamala Harris Video On Pronouncing Her Name Resurfaces

Donald Trump Stung by First Poll Released Since Joe Biden Dropped Out

A survey by the Associated Press revealed late Monday that US Vice President Kamala Harris already has the support of enough Democratic delegates to earn her party's nomination for president and to run against Republican former Pres. Donald Trump.

State delegations in Texas and her home state of California were among those that met Monday and threw their support behind Harris, who also set a 24-hour record for presidential donations by raising $81M by the end of Monday.

As many of her potential rivals have declined to challenge her, Harris has exceeded the 1,976 candidate total necessary to clinch the nomination. Delegate support, however, isn't binding until they cast their vote sometime between Aug. 1-7.

The rules committee of the Democratic National Convention — which is scheduled to start Aug. 19 in Chicago — will meet Wednesday to determine when to hold its early virtual roll-call vote, which is intended to avoid legal risks caused by some states' ballot deadlines.

Harris spoke to staff at her campaign's headquarters in Delaware on Monday, telling them she'll continue a campaign of focusing on "the future" and making room for "all Americans." She was scheduled to speak in Wisconsin on Tuesday.

Harris' ascension comes after Pres. Joe Biden on Sunday announced he would end his campaign in the face of concerns about his health and age. He announced he plans to address the nation Wednesday.
