Election 2024: Day -105

Less than 36 hours after the Harris presidential campaign commenced, the AP just announced that it believes Harris has now secured the support of a majority of the delegates at next month’s DNC, “based on interviews with individual delegates, as well public statements from delegates and state parties announcing who they now support after Biden’s exit.”

With the party having quickly coalesced behind Harris, the party announced today that plans are back on to do a virtual roll call by August 7th in order to formally nominate Harris long before the start of the DNC itself.

The newly rebranded Harris campaign raised $81 million from donors in the first 24 hours after Biden’s exit, which is purportedly a single-day record for any U.S. politician.

In other news, today Trump filed his appeal of Judge Engoron’s February decision in the Trump Org state civil fraud case; oral arguments are expected in the fall.
