Vice President Kamala Harris has reacted to the news she has secured commitments from enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.

"When I announced my campaign for President, I said I intended to go out and earn this nomination. Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party’s nominee, and as a daughter of California, I am proud that my home state’s delegation helped put our campaign over the top," Harris said in a statement. "I look forward to formally accepting the nomination soon."

The vice president also expressed gratitude for the support she's received from President Joe Biden and those in the Democratic Party who have already endorsed her.

She also drew a contrast between herself and GOP candidate Donald Trump.

"This election will present a clear choice between two different visions. Donald Trump wants to take our country back to a time before many of us had full freedoms and equal rights. I believe in a future that strengthens our democracy, protects reproductive freedom and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead," she said in her statement.

"Over the next few months, I will be traveling across the country talking to Americans about everything that is on the line. I fully intend to unite our party, unite our nation, and defeat Donald Trump in November," her statement concluded.

According to ABC News' reporting earlier on Monday night, Harris secured commitments from enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee for president if they all honor their commitments when voting.

Vice President Kamala Harris has secured commitments from enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee for president if they all honor their commitment when voting, according to ABC News' reporting.

Many state parties -- including groups with large delegations such as California and New York -- announced Monday, the day after Harris announced she was running, that all of their delegates would commit to supporting her.

This was significant because the delegates that President Joe Biden accrued during the primaries do not automatically go to Harris, and delegates remain permitted to "vote their conscience."

As of 10:15 PM ET, according to ABC News' reporting, Harris has secured non-binding commitments from at least 2,208 delegates, over the 1,975 delegates needed to clinch the nomination.

The California Democratic Party, the largest state delegation, announced it is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

"The California Democratic Party is proud to offer our endorsement to California’s own, Vice President Kamala Harris, who represents a new generation of leadership and has the ability to unite our party and beat Trump in November," Rusty Hicks, chair of CADEM, said in a statement Monday.

"The California Delegation quickly coalesced behind Vice President Harris for President because she's smart, she's tough and no one is better prepared to prosecute the case against convicted felon, Donald Trump," Hicks added.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has proposed moving forward with the virtual roll call for delegates to select a presidential nominee ahead of their in-person convention in Chicago on August 19, party leadership said Monday evening during a press briefing.

The party has not proposed a date when the virtual roll call will begin, but DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said they will still deliver a nominee by Aug. 7, but may come as soon as Aug. 1.

A DNC official also confirmed during the briefing that only pledged delegates -- and not automatic delegates (superdelegates) -- can vote on the first round of virtual roll call voting (first ballot), unless any candidate has secured a majority of all delegate votes. It is also possible for automatic delegates to vote on the first ballot -- though it would not be easy, according to the DNC official, and could only happen if a candidate were to submit a majority of the convention delegates in support of their nomination petition, rather than a required 300 delegate signatures.

On Monday, Harrison and Democratic National Convention Committee Chair Minyon Moore said that the truncated virtual process, which was proposed after a ballot access issue in Ohio that has since been resolved, will still "ensure" that their nominees are on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

"There is still a need for a virtual component to our nominating process. That has not changed, as we laid out in May, we are committed to meeting valid access deadlines," Moore said.

“Immediately after President Biden withdrew from the race, Republican leaders, including Speaker Mike Johnson, made clear that they would file losses to challenge the Democratic nominee's place on the ballot. That's why we are working in close collaboration with the convention Rules Committee on a framework for the nominating process, which will incorporate an electronic voting system to ensure we meet these deadlines,” she added.

Delegates will be informed about possible candidates through a "a candidate directory" that will be provided to them, and delegates can opt into communications from those candidates.

A DNC official later clarified that interested candidates can be included in the directory even before reaching 300 signatures.
