Des Moines, Iowa — The Iowa delegates for next month’s Democratic National Convention are unanimously backing Vice President Kamala Harris to be the party’s 2024 presidential nominee.
The delegates met virtually early Monday night and Iowa Democratic Party chair Rita Hart says she’s proud to lead a united delegation at this historic moment. By nine o’clock Monday night, Harris had secured enough support among all states’ convention delegates to be the party’s nominee. The chair of Iowa Democrats says Iowans understand the stakes in this year’s election. Hart says a substantial number of people reached out to the state party to volunteer in the hours after President Biden exited the race and Harris began her own campaign.
A memo obtained by the Associated Press indicates a virtual roll call will be conducted online before August 7th, to ensure the party’s nominee is listed on Ohio’s ballot.
On the other side, Iowa GOP chair Jeff Kaufmann says Iowa Democrats have been swindled by Biden and the machine that kicked their party’s Caucuses out of the lead-off spot in the 2024 presidential race.
