Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

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.
