Kamala Harris, the Vice President, has secured the Democratic presidential nomination. She received over 2,350 delegate votes in a virtual vote.
Prominent Democrats like Biden, Obama, and Pelosi support her candidacy. Her campaign team was able to raise $200 million in donations in July.
This comes after Biden's withdrawal from the race. Harris will be the first Black woman and person of South Asian heritage to lead a major party's ticket.
She is expected to announce her running mate soon. The virtual roll call voting began on Thursday and will continue until Monday.
Harris has energized her party's base and is set to face the Republican nominee in November's election. Her campaign has raised a total of $310 million in July, more than double what Trump raised.
Polls show a tight race, with Harris leading in some key states. The truncated timeline benefits Harris, who needs to avoid missteps.
Black, Hispanic, and other minority voters are key targets in her campaign.
