The virtual roll call to make Vice President Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nominee is underway.
After President Biden’s departure from the race, the party announced Tuesday that Harris was the only candidate who qualified for the ballot.
The virtual roll call began Thursday morning, and will conclude Monday evening, the deadline for Democratic delegates to return their ballots.
