Harris becomes Democratic presidential nominee to challenge Trump

Washington, Aug 6 (UNI) Kamala Harris, the US vice president and the daughter of immigrants, has officially clinched the Democratic nomination for the presidency, becoming the first woman of color to lead a major party ticket in the country.
Harris, previously unsuccessful in her presidential bid, has now secured the Democratic nomination, a significant moment for the party. This follows President Joe Biden's underwhelming debate performance in June, sparking internal conflicts within the party. The lead-up to Harris' nomination has been marked by intense discussions and turbulence among Democrats regarding their party's future and Biden's chances of reelection.
