Harris secures enough delegate endorsements to win the Democratic presidential nomination - eviltoast

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.

    If a delegate wants to tell CNN who they plan to vote for, they have the freedom to do that. They should have that freedom too, there is nothing wrong with it. Similarly, CNN should have the freedom to ask a delegate who they plan on voting for.

    The rest is just making 2000 phone calls, which is what interns are for.
