Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough delegates to officially become the Democrat Party’s presidential nominee when the delegates cast their votes next month.

Harris, who was forced to quit her 2020 presidential campaign before the voting started, will likely become the party’s nominee without ever having earned a single vote from Democrat voters.

The Associated Press reported that Harris had secured the backing of more than the 1,976 delegates, the number that she would need to reach to win the nomination.

Harris only launched her campaign on Sunday after President Joe Biden announced that he was ending his failing re-election campaign as he continued to fall further behind former President Donald Trump in the polls.

Delegates, none of whom are bound to Harris, will cast their votes during the first week of August to make the nomination official.

Harris addressed her campaign on Monday after Biden turned it over to her and claimed that she was going to do everything she could to unite the Democrat Party.

“As many of you know, before I was elected as vice president, before I was elected as United States senator, I was the elected attorney general, as I’ve mentioned, of California, and before that I was a courtroom prosecutor. In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds,” Harris said. “Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own game. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump’s type.”

Biden called into the meeting that Harris attended and said that he was going to be hitting the campaign trail for her as he continues to serve as president despite widespread calls for him to resign from office over serious concerns over his mental fitness.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is forcing the GOP-led House to vote on a resolution to impeach Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who is facing backlash over the security failure underlying the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump earlier this month.

Hours after Cheatle testified before the House Oversight Committee on Monday about how the Secret Service “failed” its mission, Mace introduced the resolution on Monday with a privileged motion, forcing leadership to take action on it within the next 48 hours.

“The House has NEVER voted on an impeachment of an inferior civil officer … but historic times call for historic measures,” Mace said in a post to X, which also contained a video that showed the congresswoman introducing her resolution on the House floor.

Questions have been raised about how a shooter, identified as a 20-year-old man named Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to get onto a nearby rooftop and begin shooting with an AR-style rifle at the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, before the Secret Service could stop him.

A Secret Service sniper shot and killed the gunman from another building while other personnel rushed to protect Trump and escort him off the stage, but not before a bullet ripped through the former president’s ear. One rally-goer was killed and two others were injured.

Putting on a bipartisan front, Democrats and Republicans have called on Cheatle to resign over the incident. Mace asked Cheatle during the hearing if she would like to use her five minutes for questioning the witness to “draft” a resignation letter, but Cheatle declined.

Mace got Cheatle to say “yes” when asked whether the shooting was a “colossal failure,” whether it was preventable, and whether the Secret Service had been transparent. She called “bulls***” when Cheatle claimed she did not know how her opening statement leaked.

MACE: “So, Director Cheatle, I have a series of questions. I want very specific answers… Both sides of the aisle today have asked for your resignation. Would you like to use my five minutes to draft your resignation letter? Yes or no?”

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the top member of the panel, released a rare bipartisan letter after the hearing saying Cheatle “failed” to provide answers and reassure the American people. They also called on Cheatle to resign.

Mace said in a thread posted to X that the House “cannot wait for Director Cheatle to resign.” The congresswoman went on to say the Secret Service director “must be impeached immediately. The lives of all Secret Service protectees hang in the balance.”
