The vice president’s campaign says she has won the nomination, but the results will not be official until Monday.
Vice President Kamala Harris has won enough delegate votes to secure the Democratic presidential nomination, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison announced Friday, though the results are not yet official.
The DNC will not make an official announcement of results until Monday evening, when the virtual voting process closes for delegates to next month’s Democratic National Convention.
If anyone wants to know why they didn’t wait until the DNC: Ohio has made the really shitty decision to attempt to fuck over the Democrats by requiring all candidates to be on the ballot by August 7th. They didn’t let Ohio fuck them over.
I just want to highlight how shitty Ohio is being here because FlyingSquid isn’t technically correct. Ohio has made the decision to extend the timeline… in a law that will take effect after the current deadline passes which is almost certainly an effort to rug-pull the new rules in the window between those two dates.
Ohio is being a bunch of fucking ass hats and everybody absolutely needs to know it.
Thanks. I didn’t know about that part. And I thought it couldn’t get any more blatantly manipulative.
No worries, if you’re curious here’s an article that delves into some of the awfulness involved:
Specifically:
Citing the Ohio Constitution, Harrison explained the law signed by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to extend the deadline to August 31 doesn’t take effect until September 1, making the original August 7 deadline still applicable.
Thanks. Checking it out. DeWine is such a piece of shit. The only thing I can say being next door in Indiana is at least Holcomb isn’t DeWine.
That said, our AG is a fucking monster.
Thankfully in America there are always more awful awfuls… at least you don’t have Missouri’s AG.
You mean Andrew Bailey, the AG trying to keep an innocent man in prison?
You know what’s really disgusting? That these two are such big shitheads I know who they are by name, and I don’t live in either state.
Just so you know, Faux Spews and conservatives on twatter are very concerned that Democrats’ freedom of choice is being trampled on. There was a coup to oust Biden and the “deep state” just appointed Kamala. I mean yeah but also…nah. a little introspection too, my gosh.

First Indian presidential candidate! /s
Nothing sarcastic about it. She is both. She is black and Indian. Her father was from Jamaica, her mother was from India. I’m sure she is proud of being multiracial.
But more importantly, she’s American. And her opponents will question that. Don’t let them get away with it.
Edit: That said, is she also the first presidential candidate with two foreign-born parents? Does anyone know?
One could be a annoying and insist that until John Quincy Adams no president had any non-foreign-born parents.
But more seriously, both of Andrew Jackson’s parents were born in Northern Ireland.
Edit: and Van Buren’s parents were Dutch.
I know no one really thinks, my child is gonna be president one day, but it’s pretty wild to have 2 foreign parents immigrate to a country and their child be the presidential nominee.
Quite the journey they’ve all had.
