Kamala Harris is now Democratic presidential nominee, will face off against Donald Trump this fall
Harris’ nomination became official after a five-day round of online balloting by Democratic National Convention delegates ended Monday night, with the party saying in a statement released just before midnight [Eastern Time, presumably; after all, the only time that matters. –ED] that 99% of delegates casting ballots had done so for Harris. The party had long contemplated the early virtual roll call to ensure Biden would appear on the ballot in every state. It said it would next formally certify the vote before holding a celebratory roll call at the party’s convention later this month in Chicago.
Holding a make-believe roll call two weeks hence is a nice touch, though. Difficult to do balloons on Zoom — or wherever it was they did whatever they did.
