Harris Clinches Democratic Nomination Without Primary Wins

In an unprecedented turn of events, Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough delegates to officially become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee without winning a single primary vote. This development comes after President Joe Biden announced the end of his re-election campaign, citing his failing poll numbers against former President Donald Trump.

According to the Associated Press, Harris has secured the backing of more than the required 1,976 delegates needed for the nomination. Despite launching her campaign just last Sunday, Harris has quickly gained the necessary support from party delegates, who will cast their votes to make the nomination official during the first week of August.

Harris, who dropped out of the 2020 presidential race before voting began, addressed her new campaign on Monday, expressing her commitment to uniting the Democratic Party. “As many of you know, before I was elected as vice president, before I was elected as United States senator, I was the elected attorney general, as I’ve mentioned, of California, and before that I was a courtroom prosecutor. In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds,” Harris said. “Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own game. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump’s type.”

• Harris will likely become the party's nominee without ever having earned a single vote from Democratic voters.

• President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 race as his campaign struggled in the polls.

• Delegates will cast their official votes next month, solidifying Harris's position as the nominee.

President Biden, despite facing widespread calls to resign over concerns about his mental fitness, has pledged to campaign for Harris. He expressed his support during a call-in to the meeting Harris attended, stating his commitment to hitting the campaign trail for her.

This swift and decisive shift in the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential campaign underscores the volatile nature of the current political landscape, with Harris poised to take on Trump in what promises to be a contentious election.
