Kamala Harris has the support of enough Democratic delegates to win the party’s nomination for president, according to CNN’s delegate estimate.

While endorsements from delegates continue to come in, the vice president has now been backed by well more than the 1,976 pledged delegates she’ll need to win the nomination on the first ballot.

Harris crossed the threshold amid a wave of endorsements from state delegations Monday evening.

    Did you read it? Literally the next sentence is this:

    Despite this, the DNC announced earlier this month that it intends to go forward with the virtual nomination as originally planned, citing the possibility that lawsuits may overturn the bill.

    This is why the DN is voting on the candidate in the next two weeks, ahead of the convention – because of legal shenanigans by Republicans in Ohio.

      Well Ohio Repblicans were the ones who changed the law, they have a supermajority in OH state congress. I have a feeling going with a virtual roll call has more to do with keeping the DNC less newsworthy since it’ll have a ton of protests over Palestine.

        Well, you’re welcome to have that opinion, but don’t claim I didn’t read the article, when I’m explaining that the DNC has set a 2 week deadline for choosing their candidate.
