Just 20 minutes ago, Vice President Kamala Harris was officially confirmed as the Democratic Party’s nominee for
President of the United States during a historic vote at the party’s convention in California.
The announcement marks a pivotal moment in U.S. politics, as Harris becomes the first woman of color to lead a major party’s presidential ticket.
Delegates erupted in applause as the results were declared, solidifying her position as the Democratic standard-bearer heading into the November election.
Harris’s nomination comes after a whirlwind period of political maneuvering following President Joe Biden’s decision to step aside and endorse his vice president.
