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.

    You guys are really going to complain about this? Seems like there’s probably more effective ways to dissuade voters. Especially considering that incumbents usually always receive nomination unopposed, and no one has opposed her.

      What “guys” do you think I represent? Where did I try to dissuade voters. That’s the opposite of what I want. Know what dissuades voters? When politicians choose to rule and manipulate instead of represent.

      I swear to God that if there were a manual for how to foster a fascist backlash the Democrats wouldn’t be missing a single step. This undemocratic bullshit is exactly the kind of neoliberal shenanigans that tilled the soil for the growth of MAGA in the first place.

      I dunno man, complaining about the part of the democratic process where you get to vote your party’s candidate seems pretty basic democracy to me, but I must not understand American “democracy” 🤷
