The vice president’s campaign says she has won the nomination, but the results will not be official until Monday.

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.

    There may not be many holdouts, since it is virtual they are doing it all in a strict order and giving delegations more time than they usually do at the convention. It could be that they just got to the point in the roll call where they have enough votes for Harris to get the majority.

    I read somewhere that since no other candidate met the requirements to be considered, no other candidate is involved. People who don’t vote for Harris will have to vote “Present”.
