Kamala Harris received 99% of the delegate votes in the Democratic National Committee's early virtual roll call vote, which ended Monday evening.

The Democratic National Committee’s virtual roll call vote has closed, and the Democratic Party announced that Vice President Kamala Harris received the votes of 99% of the participating delegates.

In a statement late Monday, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison and Minyon Moore, the Democratic National Convention committee chair, said that the roll call results would next be certified by the convention’s secretary, Jason Rae, formalizing Harris’ status as the Democratic nominee who will take on Republican nominee Donald Trump in November.

    There was a Democratic primary. Biden won this year’s primary and Kamala did not have a challenger.

      Delegates are pledged during the primary, but are not voted until the convention.

      Seeing as the delegates pledged for the Biden/Harris campaign, its pretty reasonable to think they were already happy with Harris as a potential president. The 99% pledge she just got from the same delegates makes it deafeningly clear that is still the case.
