While the exact roadmap is still being written, Democratic delegates are preparing to formally back Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee at the convention next month.
It’s an unprecedented situation, delegates say, caused by President Joe Biden’s Sunday announcement that he is setting aside his re-election bid. The president immediately endorsed Harris to lead the party’s presidential ticket.
Democrats will gather in Chicago on Aug. 19-22 for the Democratic Party’s nominating convention.
