According to CCTV News, based on reports from the Associated Press and Bloomberg, on August 5 local time, US Vice President Harris officially won the nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate for the 2024 US presidential election.

On July 21, under political and public pressure, US President and Democrat Biden announced that he would give up his re-election campaign and "endorsed" Harris to become the Democratic presidential candidate.

About 4,700 Democratic delegates began to participate in online voting on the nomination of presidential candidates on the 1st of this month. Harris had obtained enough delegate votes to secure the nomination on the 2nd. Harris was "endorsed" by Biden to become the Democratic presidential candidate after Biden gave up his re-election campaign. According to the plan, she will formally accept the nomination of the presidential candidate at the Democratic National Convention to be held from the 19th to the 22nd.

According to CCTV News, Harris is scheduled to start her campaign tour in several key "battleground states" on the 6th, and may appear with her selected running mates for the first time. On the 4th, Harris "interviewed" three potential running mates at her official residence in Washington.

According to Reuters, Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro were "interviewed" by Harris on the 4th. Prior to this, Harris had a 90-minute interview with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on the 2nd, and met online with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Illinois Governor Jay Robert Pritzker and other potential running mates.

Harris is expected to announce her running mate as early as the 5th. Afterwards, Harris and her running mate will start a five-day campaign in key "battleground states" in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the evening of the 6th. People familiar with the matter said that the above potential running mates will know whether they have been selected on the evening of the 5th or the morning of the 6th. According to Reuters, these candidates are all white men and are believed to be popular among rural, white or independent voters.

The Financial Times has previously listed Shapiro and Kelly as popular candidates. According to Reuters, Waltz is favored by progressive Democrats and young voters for his attacks on Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump.

According to AFP, Pennsylvania is seen as the most valuable "battleground state" for the results of this year's US presidential election. Democratic President Joseph Biden won the presidential election four years ago by winning in this state as well as Michigan and Wisconsin.

According to media reports, Harris will campaign in western Wisconsin and Detroit, Michigan on the 7th. In the next few days, she will travel to Raleigh, North Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, Phoenix, Arizona, and Las Vegas, Nevada to campaign.

After Harris took over the presidential campaign, she was "endorsed" by the United Auto Workers Union, which has a certain influence on the election. However, the president of the union, Sean Fein, said that the United Auto Workers Union, which has 370,000 members, does not support Kelly or Shapiro as vice presidential candidates. The United Auto Workers Union is headquartered in Detroit, Michigan.
