Kamala Harris has clinched the Democratic presidential nomination after earning enough votes from party delegates, marking a historic moment in the critical election year. This announcement was made by DNC chair Jamie Harrison during a campaign call, with Harris expressing her honor at being the presumptive nominee. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro condemned Trump’s attacks on Harris’s racial identity as “shameful,” highlighting the divisive tactics used by the former president.
Meanwhile, the criminal case against Donald Trump for his role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election results has resumed after a Supreme Court ruling narrowed the scope of the prosecution. The Secret Service has taken responsibility for the security lapse that led to the attempted assassination of Trump last month, with a new director acknowledging the agency’s failure in ensuring proper security measures.
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, faces sentencing for gun charges following his conviction on three felonies. His sentencing is scheduled for November 13, just days after the November election. The campaign for Harris describes her nomination as historic and emphasizes the unity and support she has garnered within the party. Harris is set to accept the nomination officially next week and vows to continue fighting for the best of who they are as Americans. Trump’s reluctance to participate in a debate with Harris is criticized by the campaign, with co-chair Cedric Richmond calling on him to “man up.”
