"Democrats will begin formally selecting Vice President Kamala Harris as their party's nominee on Thursday, capping a fast-paced campaign by Ms. Harris and her allies to secure a spot at the top of the ticket," the newspaper reports.
Delegates to the Democratic National Convention are expected to complete their online roll call vote on Monday, and Harris will be the only candidate to make the cut. At that time, she may also choose her vice presidential candidate, the newspaper writes.
Since U.S. President Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed her last month, Harris, as the publication notes, "has changed the dynamics of a race that seemed to be headed toward a landslide in favor of former President Donald Trump." She has reportedly raised more than $200 million, recruited legions of new volunteers, and attracted thousands of people to her rallies - "all signs that she is capable of fighting a hard-fought battle against Mr. Trump.
But Republicans have reportedly warned that what they call the "honeymoon period" between Harris and voters will soon end, and the Trump campaign has already released ads attacking her over immigration.
