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.

    One could be a annoying and insist that until John Quincy Adams no president had any non-foreign-born parents.

    But more seriously, both of Andrew Jackson’s parents were born in Northern Ireland.

    Edit: and Van Buren’s parents were Dutch.

      I know no one really thinks, my child is gonna be president one day, but it’s pretty wild to have 2 foreign parents immigrate to a country and their child be the presidential nominee.

      Quite the journey they’ve all had.
