Newswise — Vice President Kamala Harris will be the sole candidate on the Democratic National Committee’s virtual roll call ballot for president, ensuring her status as the party’s presumptive nominee.
Harris garnered overwhelming support from 3,923 delegates, solidifying her nomination following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race. The expedited and largely uncontested process culminates in delegate voting, which begins Thursday and concludes by August 5.
Faculty experts at the George Washington University are available to offer insight, commentary and analysis on the current status of the Harris campaign. If you would like to speak with an expert, please contact GW Media Relations at [email protected].
