Kamala Harris has the support of enough Democratic delegates to win the party’s nomination for president, according to CNN’s delegate estimate.

While endorsements from delegates continue to come in, the vice president has now been backed by well more than the 1,976 pledged delegates she’ll need to win the nomination on the first ballot.

Harris crossed the threshold amid a wave of endorsements from state delegations Monday evening.

    There is no time to fuck around unfortunately, they are making a smart move 100%. The Dems were pretty close to cannibalizing themselves over the Biden drop out thing. They need to quickly and coherently organize and unify. I’m saying all this and I’m not a big fan of Harris but I am pretty stoked to vote for her compared to my enthusiasm for voting 4 days ago.

      1: Might actually get nonvoting women to go out and retake their abortion rights.

      2: Deniable culpability for the Gaza Genocide.

      3: Hasn’t stated she’d veto universal healthcare (conditionally).

      I didn’t need much from a candidate, cop or not. Not Trump, not a confirmed fascist, let’s fucking go.
