The Democratic National Committee said that Vice President Kamala Harris is the “only” candidate that qualified for the Democratic presidential ballot.
According to the DNC: “3,923 delegates from across the country petitioned to put Vice President Harris on the ballot for the Democratic nomination, and Vice President Harris secured the support of 99% of participating delegates.”
The delegates did NOT cast their votes as a result of the primary voters. Those voters chose President Biden but Biden was ousted by a reported coup. The primary voters got no choice. It’s Harris or Harris.
Reuters speculates that she could announce her running mate by August 5, which is “the deadline for delegates to return their ballot.”
Harris appeared at a rally in Atlanta on Tuesday with Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion. Thousands of people attended and cheered on the twerk-ful event. It was certainly a renewed energy from anything President Biden attended and people seemed to like her Southern accent too! Reminder: She is from Oakland, California.
