It’s official. Vice President Kamala Harris will be the only candidate on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) virtual roll call ballot for president after her effortless rise to become the party’s standard-bearer.
Her unchallenged solo position comes after party grandees successfully pushed President Joe Biden to one side and installed her unopposed as the presumptive candidate in the 2024 race for the White House.
“Our Party has met this unprecedented moment with a transparent, democratic, and orderly process to unite behind a nominee with a proven record who will lead us in the fight ahead,” DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison said in a statement Tuesday night confirming her unchallenged place.
Convention delegates will begin voting on Harris’ nomination on Thursday and finish by Aug. 5.
