As of 10 p.m. on Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris had won the
endorsements of 531 Democratic delegates for president. That's already
a quarter of the 1,986 delegates needed to win the nomination. On her
first day!

President Biden has endorsed Vice President Harris to take over as the Democratic nominee to be president, but she'll still need to secure
enough delegates to officially replace him.
Close to 4,000 delegates will gather at the Democratic National
Convention (DNC) in Chicago starting on August 17. Biden has won more
than 3,800 of those delegates, who will now all be released to vote
for whomever they choose.
To win the nomination, a candidate must secure 1,986 delegates. As of
10 p.m. on Sunday, 531 delegates had already endorsed Harris.
A number of senior Democrats followed Biden in rallying behind Harris
on Sunday, though there were notable exceptions. And it's unclear if
Harris will face a serious challenge.
Regardless, it will ultimately be up to delegates at the DNC to pick
the nominee.
