Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Kamala Harris Gets Enough Votes to Clinch DNC Nom as Trump Pulls Out of Debate

HeadlineAug 05, 2024

The Democratic National Committee has announced Vice President Kamala Harris has won enough votes from delegates to secure the party’s presidential nomination. The DNC is holding a virtual roll call ahead of the Democratic National Convention, which begins in two weeks in Chicago. Harris is expected to name her running mate today or tomorrow. Over the weekend, she interviewed three top candidates: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, U.S. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. She also met with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for 90 minutes on Friday.

In other campaign news, Donald Trump has dropped out of a planned presidential debate on ABC scheduled for September 10. Trump now says he will debate Harris, but only if it is hosted by Fox News.
