Democrats on Wednesday adopted the rules the party will use to choose their presidential nominee, with voting to officially nominate Kamala Harris likely to begin August 1. The party has said its goal is to nominate its presidential and vice presidential candidates by August 7 to avoid the possibility of litigation over ballot access in Ohio. That could be determined by a candidate either winning enough votes during remote balloting or gathering a sufficient number of signatures. After a presidential candidate is nominated, the rules allow the nominee to name a running mate without the need for additional remote voting. While the ceremonial presidential vote will be conducted as a roll call, the vote for vice president is likely to be a voice vote.

CNN —Kamala Harris has the support of enough Democratic delegates to win the party’s nomination for president, according to CNN’s delegate estimate. Harris crossed the threshold amid a wave of endorsements from state delegations Monday evening. CNN’s count comes from public statements of support from delegates and state delegations, CNN reporting and conversations with delegates. Endorsements from state delegations are counted as unanimous support for Harris absent other information. I look forward to formally accepting the nomination soon,” Harris said in a statement from her campaign late Monday.
