VP Harris now has at least 1,992 pledged delegates, enough to clinch the Democratic party's presidential nomination. She's set a new record for most funds raised by a presidential candidate in a single day: $81 million.

She also has endorsements from the following people and organizations:
- President Bill and Hillary Clinton
- Nancy Pelosi
- Gov Cooper of N. Carolina
- Gov Shapiro of PA
- Gov Whitmer of MI
- 20 other state governors
- 41 US Senators
- 186 members of the House of Representatives
- Almost all major Union leaders (IBEW, etc)

Harris began prosecuting her case against Trump in her first speech as the Democratic presidential front-runner.

“I took on perpetrators of all kinds,” Harris told staffers at the Wilmington HQ of what is now her campaign.

“Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain,” she continued. “So hear me when I say: I know Donald Trump’s type.

Harris’ well-timed delivery had staffers whooping and cheering in support.

She pledged to take on big corporate interests, and drew on her experience as a career prosecutor.

“During the foreclosure crisis, I took on the big Wall Street banks and won $20 billion for California families, holding those banks accountable for fraud,” Harris said.

“Donald Trump was just found guilty of 34 counts of fraud.”
