据民主党全国委员会称，哈里斯在周一晚上结束的唱名表决中获得了代表们的4，567票。
“在虚拟唱名表决中，有99%的与会代表支持，副总统哈里斯在她的背后有着历史性的动力，因为我们开始了正式认证她为我们党的提名人的最后步骤。我们感谢来自全国各地的成千上万名代表，他们在整个过程中认真承担责任，让他们的声音——以及他们社区的声音——被听到，”党主席杰米·哈里森和民主党全国代表大会委员会主席明永·穆尔在一份声明中说。
哈里森在周二晚上说，他已经正式签署了文件，证明她是民主党总统候选人。
哈里斯本人口头上接受了她的提名恢复与她新宣布的总统竞选伙伴，明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹，周二在费城。
“就在昨晚，民主党全国代表大会的代表们完成了投票——所以——我今天站在你们面前自豪地宣布，我现在正式成为民主党提名的美国总统候选人!”她告诉人群。
民主党全国委员会领导人周二表示，瓦尔兹也已被正式认证为民主党的副总统候选人。
哈里斯是第一位领导主要政党的黑人和南亚女性。
自上周五哈里森当选以来，哈里斯实际上已成为该党的提名人在直播电话中宣布哈里斯在虚拟唱名表决中赢得了足够的民主党代表票，以确保该党的提名。
哈里斯是发起竞选总统的唯一有竞争力的候选人乔·拜登在他退出竞选后，唯一一位获得足够代表签名的候选人进入了虚拟点名。
自美国东部时间周四上午9点以来，大会代表一直在通过电子邮件或电话进行虚拟投票，这是民主党全国委员会(Democratic National Committee)设置的虚拟点名。代表们可以在美国东部时间周一下午6点之前在提名过程中投票。
民主党全国委员会5月份初步决定因为俄亥俄州投票截止日期的不确定性而举行虚拟点名。州议会最终纠正了这个问题，但民主党全国委员会认为，俄亥俄州的共和党议员没有诚信，民主党候选人需要在大会之前获得提名，以避免法律问题。俄亥俄州领导人否认了这一指控。
Kamala Harris certified as Democratic presidential nominee after earning majority of roll call votes
Vice President Kamala Harris has been officially certified as the Democratic presidential nominee after getting the vast majority of delegate votes in a virtual roll call, the Democratic National Committee said.
Harris received 4,567 votes from delegates in the roll call, which concluded Monday evening, according to the Democratic National Committee.
"With the support of 99% of all participating delegates in the virtual roll call, Vice President Harris has historic momentum at her back as we embark on the final steps in officially certifying her as our Party’s nominee. We thank the thousands of delegates from all across the country who took seriously their responsibility throughout this process to make their voices – and the voices of their communities – heard," party chair Jaime Harrison and Democratic National Convention Committee Chair Minyon Moore said in a statement.
Harrison said on X Tuesday evening that he has officially signed the paperwork to certify her as the Democratic nominee for president.
Harris herself verbally accepted the nomination at herrallywith her newly announced presidential running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on Tuesday in Philadelphia.
"And just last night, the delegates to the Democratic National Convention finished voting -- and so -- I stand before you today to proudly announce I am now officially the Democratic nominee for President of the United States!" she told the crowd.
Walz has also been officially certified as the Democratic Party’s nominee for vice president, DNC leaders said Tuesday.
Harris is the first Black and South Asian woman to lead a major party ticket.
Harris had effectively been the party's nominee since Friday, when Harrisonannounced on a livestream callthat Harris had earned enough Democratic Party delegate votes in a virtual roll call to secure the party's nomination.
Harris was the only competitive candidate that launched a campaign to succeed PresidentJoe Bidenafter his withdrawal from the race, and the only candidate that received enough delegate signatures to progress to the virtual roll call.
Convention delegates have been virtually voting by email or phone since 9 a.m. ET on Thursday in a virtual roll call set up by the Democratic National Committee. Delegates had until Monday at 6 p.m. ET to vote in the nomination process.
The DNCinitially decided in Mayto hold a virtual roll call because of uncertainty over deadlines to get on the ballot in Ohio. The state legislature eventually rectified the issue, but the DNC has argued that Republican lawmakers in Ohio are acting in bad faith and that the Democratic candidate needs to be nominated earlier than the convention to avoid legal issues. Ohio leaders have denied this allegation.
