The vice president, who announced her candidacy on Sunday after Biden withdrew from the race, She is already the Democrats’ favorite candidate after having received the president’s supportformer House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and every Democratic governor in the country — some of whom were rumored to be potential candidates.

However, other candidates could be presented if they obtain the nomination signatures of at least 300 delegates, with no more than one sixth coming from a single state.

If only one candidate, most likely Harris, meets the 300-signature threshold, virtual voting could take place as early as August 1, party officials told local media on Monday, and if there are multiple candidates, voting would take place days later but would be completed before August 7.

If the nomination takes place in early August, the Democratic convention to be held in Chicago on August 19 will be a purely ceremonial event and a television opportunity for political formation.
