Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz have been officially declared as the Democratic nominees for president and vice president, as announced by the party on Tuesday. The announcement was made during a rally in Philadelphia where Harris expressed her pride in accepting the nomination for president of the United States.
Harris, in her speech, emphasized the importance of moving forward to the general election and securing a victory. The Democratic National Committee confirmed on Monday that Harris had secured the presidential nomination, making her the first Black woman and first Asian American to lead a major-party ticket. According to the DNC, Harris received an overwhelming 99% of the vote.
As per party regulations, Harris now has the authority to select her running mate without the need for a separate vote. This historic moment marks a significant milestone in American politics, with Harris breaking barriers and paving the way for greater diversity and representation in leadership roles.
