Delegates to the Democratic National Convention will meet virtually within the next two weeks to confirm Vice President Kamala Harris as their nominee for president — and her yet-to-be-named running mate.
The convention’s rules committee on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved the process for a virtual roll call, clearing the final hurdle to solidifying the ticket before the convention convenes in Chicago Aug. 19. The exact date of the vote — some time between Aug. 1 and Aug. 7 — will be decided by the convention’s co-chairs, Jaime Harrison and Minyon Moore.
