68% Democrats Pledge Support for Kamala Harris

Vice President Harris has amassed abundant support to secure her position as the official Democratic nominee, as 68% of Democrats pledge support

The United States Vice President Kamala Harris has received the necessary support from delegates to secure the Democratic presidential nomination.

At the time of publication, Harris has received assurances from 2,668 delegates, according to an unofficial Associated Press Democratic Delegate survey.

The results indicate that she is the most probable Democratic candidate to face off against Republican nominee Donald Trump.

The delegates who have expressed preliminary support for Harris will still need to formalize their ballots in the upcoming weeks and are anticipated to designate an official nominee by August 7.

68% Democrats Pledge Support for Kamala Harris

Harris expressed his satisfaction with securing the wide support necessary to become our party’s nominee in a statement.

“I look forward to formally accepting the nomination soon.”

President Joe Biden endorsed Harris after his abrupt withdrawal from the election contest on July 21.

She was also endorsed by Bill and Hillary Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which dispelled speculations that Hillary may have been considering a return to the presidential race.

Harris’ endorsement is a response to the health concerns arising from Joe Biden’s announcement that he has contracted Covid-19.

What does a Harris nomination mean for crypto?

Although Donald Trump has explicitly stated his position on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, including his commitment to safeguard US Bitcoin miners and the cessation of the Biden administration’s “war on crypto” in June, Harris has not issued any definitive statements regarding digital assets.

Nevertheless, Harris, a California native, has been regarded as one of the more tech-friendly Democrats to emerge in recent years.

The choice of Harris’ running companion will be crucial to her nomination and its impact on crypto. Political analysts have identified Pete Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro, JB Pritzker, and Gavin Newsom as potential vice presidential candidates.

None of these potential candidates maintains an excessively vocal position on digital assets or cryptocurrency.

It is still being determined whether the crypto policy under Harris would significantly transform from that of the current Biden administration.
