Kamala Harris Secures Historic Democratic Presidential Nomination
Kamala Harris, the U.S. Vice President of Indian and African heritage, has secured the Democratic presidential nomination. She will face Republican candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming November elections. Harris marks a historic milestone as the first woman of color and first Indian-American to achieve this nomination.
In a move that marks a historical milestone, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has officially secured the Democratic presidential nomination. This makes Harris the first Indian-American and woman of color to be nominated for the presidency by a major political party.
The nomination became official after Harris clinched 99 percent of the votes from pledged and automatic delegates following a five-day online balloting by the Democratic National Convention (DNC). A total of 4,567 delegates from across the country participated in the voting process.
Kamala Harris, 59, is set to face former president Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, in the general elections slated for November 5. Harris is expected to announce her running mate at a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, as she prepares to break yet another glass ceiling in American politics.
