Kamala Harris has won the votes of enough Democratic convention delegates to become the party’s presidential nominee, Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison said Friday.
But the Alaska Democratic Party took the wind out of the announcement. The Alaska Democrats had already made the announcement through a letter they sent to supporters on Thursday:
“VP Kamala Harris has secured support from enough delegates from the DNC and will be the next President of the United States – here’s how we got here,” the Alaska Democrats said in their fundraising email.
“FIRST: President Joe Biden announced he would no longer seek the Democratic nomination for President, throwing his support behind VP Kamala Harris.
“THEN: Alaska Democrats came together to rally behind Kamala with support and enthusiasm pouring out from every corner of the state.
“NOW: With less than 100 days left until Election Day, we’re firing off all cylinders to build on this momentum as we ramp up our voter outreach, education, and turnout efforts so we can ride this wave all the way to the White House in November!”
The Democratic Party forgot the part about how it staged a palace coup against President Joe Biden, who has won all the primaries he needs to be the nominee, but who was forced by influential people like former President Barack Obama to withdraw from contention last month after Biden’s dementia became exposed on national television during a debate with Donald Trump.
The Alaska Democrats say with conviction that Harris will be the next president and the letter asked for $10 from the recipient to build the largest grassroots campaign in Alaska history.
Harrison followed up with his own announcement, “I am so proud to confirm that Vice President Harris has earned more than a majority of votes from all convention delegates and will be the nominee of the Democratic Party following the close of voting” on Aug. 5, Harrison said on a video Friday.
