The US Democratic Party says it will hold an online vote from August 1 through August 5 to nominate Vice President Kamala Harris as its candidate to succeed President Joe Biden.
The Democratic National Committee announced the nomination proceedings on Tuesday.
Biden has expressed his support for Harris.
The DNC says 3,923 delegates from across the United States petitioned to put Harris on the ballot for the Democratic nomination.
It says Harris secured the support of 99 percent of the participating delegates and noted she is the only person who has qualified for the ballot.
Harris has already launched a full-fledged campaign. She held a rally on Tuesday in Georgia — a key southern swing state — telling the audience, “The momentum in this race is shifting,” and adding, “There are signs Donald Trump is feeling it.”
