Following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race, numerous Democrats have rallied behind Vice President Kamala Harris as the replacement candidate. Harris has received support from influential party members, including Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
With backing from prominent figures such as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, Harris has gained significant support. She has also garnered endorsements from a third of Democratic senators, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and several governors.
Financially, Harris has already received $49.6 million in donations since announcing her candidacy. The Democrats are now preparing for an expedited nomination process ahead of the presidential election.
The party's chairman, Jaime Harrison, has announced a transparent and organized process for the nomination. The exact details are yet to be determined, but the candidate will be chosen by delegates at the Democratic National Convention in August.
Harris's rapid rise has galvanized the party, and she is seen as a strong contender against Republican nominee Donald Trump. The election could see a highly contested and historic race, with Harris potentially becoming the first female president of the United States.
