Vice President Kamala Harris officially crossed the threshold to secure the Democratic presidential nomination on Monday, receiving over 1,968 delegate endorsements.
She secured the unanimous endorsement of all delegates in her home state of California, the largest Democratic delegation in the country. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made the motion to endorse Harris for president, a Pelosi spokesperson told The Hill.
The flurry of endorsements adds to Harris’ meteoric ascent to becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee. The Harris campaign received $81 million in contributions within just 24 hours of Biden’s letter announcing that he would step out of the presidential race, adding to the $240 million war chest the president’s campaign left behind.
It is unlikely Harris will face a major competitor at the Democratic National Convention at the end of August, where delegates will decide the party nominee on national ballots.
Every Democratic governor in the country, including rising stars like Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Michigan Gov. Gretchin Whitmer, has fallen in line behind Harris.
Significant swaths of the Democratic congressional caucus have also backed Harris. Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.V.) had been rumored to be considering a challenge to the Vice President, but has made no public statements signaling he would rejoin the party to do so.
Harris’s young campaign, which was approximately 36 hours old at the time she reached the threshold, has retained much of the Biden campaign’s momentum. Earlier Monday, she told Biden campaign staff that they would be retained on her campaign, and confirmed that Biden campaign czar Jen O’Malley Dillon would continue to run the campaign.
