According to Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison and Convention Chairwoman Minyon Moore, Harris won the support of 99% of pledged and automatic delegates. “Vice President Harris has historic momentum on her back as we embark on the final steps to officially certify her as our party's nominee,” they said in a joint statement Monday night.

After the results are posted, convention secretary Jason Rae will certify the call.

Harris and his running mate will formally accept the nomination, with Moore handling the final certification.

Harris accomplished the feat in two weeks, taking advantage of Joe Biden's suspension of his campaign last month.

No other Democrats challenged Harris for the nomination, as Biden and other party leaders rallied behind her, avoiding the prospect of a negotiated convention.

By Friday, Harris had secured the necessary delegates and secured a majority of the convention's votes. The virtual roll call, which began at 9 a.m. ET Thursday, concluded with Harris receiving 2,350 votes at 1:16 p.m. ET the next day.

And without receiving a single vote from real voters!
Really historic.
The party that always shouts about “protecting democracy” doesn't give a damn about democracy.
The press only goes along with this dangerous farce. https://t.co/9fiC3fUol8
