Early Tuesday morning Norwegian time, Harris confirms that she has the broad support needed to become the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate. That is written by Reuters. Earlier, the AP news agency reported that Harris has 2,214 behind her, more than the 1,976 she needs to win.

By August 7, the party must have a presidential candidate and vice-presidential candidate ready, says the leader of the Democratic Party’s national committee, Jaime Harrison. He says that the party is committed to carrying out an open and fair nomination process.
