Harris’s nomination means she will be the first black and South Asian woman to lead a major party’s ticket in the fall. Harrison announced Harris had secured 2,350 votes, more than a majority of delegates, by 1:16 p.m., though delegates can continue to cast their ballots until Monday, Aug. 5 at 6 p.m. The DNC decided to nominate Biden and then Harris through a virtual roll call vote, despite Ohio changing its ballot access laws to accommodate the late date of the Democratic National Convention this election cycle.
