The Tennessee delegation to the Democratic National Convention made a significant decision on Sunday by unanimously backing Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's presidential nominee. This announcement came after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, prompting a shift in support within the party.
Following Tennessee's lead, several other state delegations are expected to show their support for Harris. This move is part of a broader effort within the Democratic party to unite behind Harris as the new frontrunner.
It is important to note that with Biden no longer in the running, his delegates to the convention now have the freedom to cast their votes for any eligible candidate. This can occur during a virtual roll call, tentatively scheduled for early August, or at the convention in Chicago starting on August 19.
The decision by the Tennessee delegation reflects the evolving dynamics of the Democratic National Convention and sets the stage for a potentially historic moment as Harris emerges as a leading contender for the party's nomination.
