Harris Has Support of Enough Democratic Delegates to Become Party’s Presidential Nominee: AP Survey

Sen. Kamala Harris of California said that if she’s elected president, she will back abolishing the filibuster if Senate Republicans stand in the way of legislation to combat climate change.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the support of enough Democratic delegates to become her party’s nominee against Donald Trump. That’s according to an Associated Press survey taken in the aftermath of President Joe Biden’s decision to drop his bid for reelection. The unofficial AP survey is only an indication that she has the backing of more than then 1,976 delegates she’ll need to win on a first ballot. But it shows she is the overwhelming choice of her party to replace Biden at the top of the ticket.
