Delegates to the Democratic National Convention are rallying behind Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s new presidential candidates. Since President Joe Biden dropped out his reelection bid Sunday, Harris already has amassed support from enough convention delegates to become her party’s nominee against Republican Donald Trump. Some delegates surveyed by The Associated Press said they are now more enthusiastic about the presidential campaign. Delegates are to convene next month in Chicago for their convention. Arizona delegate Gabriella Cázares-Kelly said, “Before it felt like a convention, but now it feels like a party.”
