Vice President Kamala Harris was nominated as the presidential candidate at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Tuesday, despite her absence at the event. Harris, who has been serving in the White House since January 2021, was officially named the presumptive presidential nominee after President Biden announced last month that he would not seek re-election.
In a tweet posted early Wednesday morning, Harris expressed her readiness to roll up her sleeves and get to work. Despite her significant role in the administration, Harris has not held a press conference during this time period. She has, however, agreed to participate in one debate with Republican candidate Donald Trump.
