Kamala Harris has the support of enough Democratic delegates to win the party’s nomination for president, according to CNN’s delegate estimate.
While endorsements from delegates continue to come in, the vice president has now been backed by well more than the 1,976 pledged delegates she’ll need to win the nomination on the first ballot.
Harris crossed the threshold amid a wave of endorsements from state delegations Monday evening.
Ohio ballot deadline is in two weeks. There isn’t time.

Obviously a more decentralized process, like new primaries, would have been ideal, and Biden and DNC stood in the way of that, but right now we just need to delegate this decision to our elected leaders to make this decision now before it’s too late to resist a Trump dictatorship.

I would love to see election reform in the future so this doesn’t happen again, but this is our system, like it or not, and this is the best way forward.
But the big thing is- no one else has thrown their hat in the ring.
People who don’t want Harris can’t face that uncomfortable fact.
Folks who don’t want her are being either disingenuous or unrealistic.
Always read the article before you post it folks.
Did you read it? Literally the next sentence is this:
This is why the DN is voting on the candidate in the next two weeks, ahead of the convention – because of legal shenanigans by Republicans in Ohio.
Well Ohio Repblicans were the ones who changed the law, they have a supermajority in OH state congress. I have a feeling going with a virtual roll call has more to do with keeping the DNC less newsworthy since it’ll have a ton of protests over Palestine.
Well, you’re welcome to have that opinion, but don’t claim I didn’t read the article, when I’m explaining that the DNC has set a 2 week deadline for choosing their candidate.
That’s not what you originally said though. Deadline is September 1st in Ohio.
