Harris has now secured pledges from 2,668 delegates at the time of publication, according to the unofficial Associated Press Democratic Delegate Survey.


The results position her as the likely candidate from the Democratic Party to run against Republican Party nominee Donald Trump.


The delegates that have thrown their preliminary support behind Harris will still need to formalize their votes in the coming weeks. They are expected to designate an official nominee by Aug. 7 before the Democratic Party’s national convention.Harris has secured the support of 2,668 delegates in the US. Source: AP


“Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party’s nominee,” Harris said in a statement.“I look forward to formally accepting the nomination soon.”


Harris was endorsed by President Joe Biden after he suddenly dropped out of the election race on July 21.


She was also endorsed by Bill and Hillary Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, quelling rumors that Hillary may have been considering a run for president again.


Harris’ backing comes amid concerns around Biden’s health after the president announced he had contracted COVID-19.

Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, said the president’s symptoms had “almost resolved completely” on July 22.What does a Harris nomination mean for crypto?


While Trump vowed to protect US-based Bitcoin miners and end the Biden administration’s “war on crypto” in June, Harris has not made any strong statements concerning digital assets.


Still, Harris is a California native who has been seen as one of the more tech-friendly democrats to become prominent in recent years.


The key to Harris’s nomination and its effect on crypto will be who she selects as her running mate. Political pundits have suggested Pete Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro, JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom as potential candidates.


None of the potential picks have overly vocal stances on crypto or digital assets.


It remains unclear whether or not the crypto policy under Harris will change dramatically from the current Biden administration.
