US Vice President Kamala Harris has officially become a candidate for the US presidency from the Democratic Party. This is reported by The Washington Post , UNN .

Details

On Friday, August 2, the Democrats officially announced her as the party's presidential candidate

The publication says that the official nomination of the first woman of color to lead a presidential election marks a milestone for a nation long torn by racial and gender issues.

The WP says that after Biden's withdrawal from the race, anyone who receives 300 delegate signatures in support of their bid could run for the White House.

Still, Democrats wanted to unite the party more than anything else to oppose Donald Trump's candidacy, so no elected Democratic politician other than Harris announced their decision to collect signatures.  

On Tuesday, the Democratic National Committee said that 3,923 delegates had petitioned to place Harris on the nomination ballot, a significant majority of the total number of delegates.

Democratic convention organizers are preparing a symbolic roll call for prime-time television coverage in Chicago, where representatives from each state will offer their votes for Harris individually.

Addendum 

The  Washington Post reminds us that Harris will be the second person of color in America's nearly 250-year history to lead a major presidential campaign, after Barack Obama in 2008.

In addition, she  would be the second female nominee of a major party after Hillary Clinton in 2016, when Clinton lost to Trump.

Recall

Kamala Harris' campaign raised $310 million in July, twice as much as Donald Trump's. In total , Democrats have $377 million, while Republicans have $327 million.
