Associated Press has reported that at least 2,660 Democrat delegates will back Kamala Harris as the party’s presidential candidate; she requires the support of just 1,976 delegates to win the first ballot at the party’s National Convenion in August. Key Democrats have also backed Harris, including former House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi and a growing number of state governors. Meanwhile, Harris has used her first major speech since becoming the Democrats’ presumptive presidential election nominee to criticise Donald Trump’s stance on issues such as taxation, social welfare and abortion. President Joe Biden in turn praised Harris in a phone call to the campaign meeting; in his first public comments since withdrawing from the election race, Biden said Trump is still a danger to the community and the nation.
