Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough delegates to officially become the Democrat Party’s presidential nominee when the delegates cast their votes next month.

Harris, who was forced to quit her 2020 presidential campaign before the voting started, will likely become the party’s nominee without ever having earned a single vote from Democrat voters.

The Associated Press reported that Harris had secured the backing of more than the 1,976 delegates, the number that she would need to reach to win the nomination.

Harris only launched her campaign on Sunday after President Joe Biden announced that he was ending his failing re-election campaign as he continued to fall further behind former President Donald Trump in the polls.

Delegates, none of whom are bound to Harris, will cast their votes during the first week of August to make the nomination official.
