00:00
In the two weeks after US President Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid, she has gained
00:07
control of the Democratic Party, filled arenas and broken fundraising records.
00:12
Now, Kamala Harris has garnered enough votes from Democratic delegates to secure the party's
00:17
presidential nomination.
00:19
In remarks made via telephone, the US Vice President welcomed the news.
00:23
I am honoured to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States
00:29
and I will tell you the tireless work of our delegates, our state leaders and staff has
00:36
been pivotal in making this moment possible.
00:40
The announcement was also hailed by Biden, who said he couldn't be prouder of her nomination.
00:45
Harris, who will become the first black woman and first Asian American at the top of a major
00:50
party ticket, added that she will officially accept the nomination next week.
00:55
Practically the entire party, including Biden, had endorsed her after the US President dropped
01:00
out of the race amid mounting pressure from fellow Democrats.
01:04
Since Biden's endorsement, Harris has made the case against former US President Donald
01:09
Trump at a string of fundraisers and campaign rallies.
01:13
On Friday, her campaign announced it had raised an impressive $310 million in July, the largest
01:19
haul of the election cycle so far and more than twice the amount brought in by the Trump
01:23
campaign last month.
01:26
Harris is expected to choose her running mate for November's election by Monday.
01:30
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro are among those vying
01:34
to become the new vice presidential nominee.
01:37
On Tuesday, Harris and her running mate are expected to begin a four-day tour campaigning
01:42
across battleground states.
