In a show of party unity, state convention delegations have declared their support for Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee. These endorsements represent more than enough delegates to clinch the party’s nomination.
Ms. Harris most likely has more support than these declarations indicate. Many individual delegates have said they intend to vote for Ms. Harris, but their state delegations have not yet collectively done the same.
The state party endorsements represent 70 percent of the 3,949 delegates who will vote on the first ballot at the party convention. There are additional unpledged delegates, commonly known as superdelegates, who will vote only if no candidate receives a majority in the first round of voting.
State party endorsements are not binding and do not necessarily mean that individual delegates must vote for Ms. Harris. According to party rules, the delegates who previously pledged to support Mr. Biden can vote for any candidate now that he has withdrawn from the race.
Most state delegations listed below voted unanimously among those present to support Ms. Harris.
