Vice President Kamala Harris has won enough delegate votes to secure the Democratic presidential nomination, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison announced Friday, though the results are not yet official.

The DNC will not make an official announcement of results until Monday evening, when the virtual voting process closes for delegates to next month’s Democratic National Convention.

    I have to give Dean Phillips some credit, he probably saw that Biden was starting to show his age and at least tried to get some attention on it. The debate was the tipping point for many (I know it was for me). If we had a debate earlier in the process then maybe we all could have come to this conclusion sooner.

      Honestly, dropping out this late was kind of a genius move, even if it was unintentional. The Trump campaign is twisting in the wind. They were all in to fight Biden. Now it’s an old man against a woman who isn’t young, but also doesn’t look 59, and is clearly just far more intelligent and far more just cognitively able than Trump.

      And the best attack Trump has been able to come up with is “she turned black all of a sudden.” Which he said to a bunch of black people.

        Right? Kamala looks like she’s mid 40s. She’s aging pretty good.
