Live updates on the 2024 presidential race after President Biden dropped out and endorsed Kamala Harris.
A majority of Democratic delegates have pledged to support Vice President Harris as the party’s next presidential nominee, signaling she is likely to secure the nomination next month. To win the nomination in the first round of voting, a candidate needs the support of at least 1,976 delegates out of nearly 4,000. As of Monday night, at least 2,214 delegates from more than three dozen states had endorsed Harris, according to a survey of delegates by the Associated Press.
These pledges are a symbolic show of support for Harris, and delegates could change their minds. Harris would not officially become the party’s nominee for president until delegates formally vote in a virtual roll call that is expected to conclude by Aug. 7, well before the party convention in Chicago that begins on Aug. 19. After President Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Harris, state party leaders began informally polling delegates to gauge support for her.
