Kamala Harris has the support of enough Democratic delegates to win the party’s nomination for president, according to CNN’s delegate estimate.

While endorsements from delegates continue to come in, the vice president has now been backed by well more than the 1,976 pledged delegates she’ll need to win the nomination on the first ballot.

Harris crossed the threshold amid a wave of endorsements from state delegations Monday evening.

    The media is doing that thing again! You know, trying to coronate a candidate instead of waiting for the convention.

    I don’t see how. The Democratic Party’s delegates have committed to a candidate. They’re reporting on it. They can’t exactly be encouraging anyone to choose a candidate; they’re saying that the commitment has already happened.

    The convention is when it’ll be official.
