US campaign - Media: Harris has enough delegate votes for candidacy
US Vice President Kamala Harris currently has the support of sufficient delegates, according to media estimations, to run as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate against Republican Donald Trump in November.

The CNN count reportedly includes public declarations of support from delegates and conversations with them.
At the latest, Harris could be nominated at the Democratic National Convention from August 19-22 in Chicago. The presidential election takes place on November 5.
