Vice President Kamala Harris is set to become the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party this week at the Democratic National Convention, following a fast-tracked campaign to the nomination. 

After President Joe Biden exited the presidential race in July, he was quick to endorse his right-hand woman to be the nominee. An overwhelming majority of the party has coalesced around Harris and embraced her as the new leader. She picked Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) to be her running mate, and the pair will become the nominees at the DNC in Chicago.
