Ohio Democratic delegates endorse Kamala Harris

"Tonight, our delegation is proud to overwhelmingly endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States. Vice President Harris is a proven public servant who will be a strong fighter for Ohio's workers and we're ready to get to work to make sure that she and the rest of our Democratic ticket wins in November."

State of play: More than 2,200 delegates from over 30 states have endorsed the vice president as the Democratic nominee, per an Associated Press survey.

• A total of 1,976 Democratic delegates are needed to clinch the party's presidential nomination at the convention.

Reality check: AP emphasized that while its survey could demonstrate the early edge Harris appears to have gathered among convention delegates, it is still an "unofficial tally."

What's next: The party's convention is set to begin Aug. 19 in Chicago, but the Democratic National Committee recently confirmed plans to select a presidential nominee via "virtual roll call" before Aug. 7.
