According to CNN, the Democratic National Committee has long made it clear that it wants to have its nominee confirmed before the August 19 in-person convention - and in particular, by August 7. This, they argue, is essential to ensure access to ballots in all states and to prevent the risk of litigation.
According to CNN's delegate count, Kamala Harris has the support of enough Democratic delegates to win the party's presidential nomination. The vice president has already received much more support than the 1,976 delegates she needs to win the first round of voting.
In her statement on Monday, the vice president said she would continue to travel the country in the coming months, "talking to Americans about everything that is on the agenda."
"I fully intend to unite our party, unite our nation, and defeat Donald Trump in November," Harris said.
