According to CCTV News, the Democratic National Committee announced on August 2 local time that US Vice President Harris has obtained enough party delegate votes to secure the Democratic presidential nomination.

The online voting, which involved about 4,700 Democratic delegates, began on the morning of the 1st. After about a day and a half of voting, Jame Harrison, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, announced that Harris had obtained enough delegate votes to lock in the nomination. The committee is expected to end the online voting on the 5th and officially announce the results. Harris' campaign team said that Harris has received more than 2,350 votes, reaching the threshold to lock in the nomination.

On July 21, under political and public pressure, US President and Democrat Biden announced that he would give up his re-election bid and "endorsed" Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate. The Democratic National Convention is scheduled to be held in Chicago from August 19 to 22, and the Democratic Party plans to formally nominate the party's presidential candidate at the convention. The Democratic Party hopes to conduct online voting in advance to determine the party's presidential candidate as soon as possible.

It is reported that Harris is expected to announce her running mate on the 5th at the latest, and the two will hold their first joint campaign rally in Philadelphia on the 6th. The popular candidates for Harris' running mate include Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro, Arizona Senator Kelly and Kentucky Governor Beshear.
