Vice President Kamala Harris secured enough support from Democratic National Convention (DNC) delegates to become the party’s presumptive presidential nominee, she announced on X early Tuesday morning.

California’s DNC delegation voted Monday to support Harris at the urging of Democratic California Rep. Nancy Pelosi, granting the vice president enough verbal commitments to receive the party’s presidential nomination, Politico reported. Harris only won 844 votes in her 2020 Democratic presidential primary run, securing zero delegates in the process, according to election data.

“When I announced my campaign for President, I said I intended to go out and earn this nomination,” the vice president’s statement reads. “Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party’s nominee, and as a daughter of California, I am proud that my home state’s delegation helped put our campaign over the top.”

At least 2,688 delegates have pledged to back Harris as of Tuesday morning, well over the 1,976 needed to secure the nomination, according to the Associated Press. The support is non-binding as the pledges have largely been verbal.

The DNC is slated to take place between Aug. 19 and Aug. 22, however party leaders have committed to holding a virtual roll call vote to select a presidential nominee by Aug. 7, Reuters reported.

Tonight, I am proud to have earned the support needed to become our party’s nominee.

Harris dropped out of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary in December 2019, while polling at roughly 3%, according to Roll Call. She then secured the role of the party’s vice presidential nominee after former Vice President Joe Biden pledged to choose a woman as his running mate.

Harris raised $81 million in the 24-hour period following Biden’s announcement that he would not be seeking reelection, and deep-pocketed liberal donors began falling in line behind the vice president.

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
