US Vice President Kamala Harris ’s outreach to delegates started almost immediately after President Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid today. — Reuters pool picWASHINGTON, July 22 — US Vice President Kamala Harris ’s campaign officials and allies made hundreds of phone calls today, locking in delegates’ support for her presidential nomination ahead of the Democratic National Convention in August while seeking to block any would-be challengers, multiple sources said.
“A lot of people are working on it right now,” a source familiar with the matter said. “She has made clear she will work to earn their support,” the source said. Although Biden was the party’s presumptive nominee, he has no direct power to choose the delegates’ formal nominee. Even before Biden stepped aside, Harris began to emerge as the consensus pick and in an open nominating process, the vice president will have several advantages that give her a leg up over any potential challenger for the nomination.
Chip Forrester, co-chair of the southern region finance committee of the Biden-Harris campaign said the Tennessee delegation voted unanimously to support Harris as president.
