• A growing number of Democrats have thrown their weight behind Kamala Harris as the party’s presidential nominee, including some considered possible challengers, in a sign the party is embracing her as its champion.
  • Harris must secure the backing of at least 1,986 Democratic delegates to secure the party’s nomination. So far she has at least 531, according to US news outlet The Hill.
  • Still, some notable Democrats, such as former President Barack Obama and ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have not endorsed Harris.
  • Former President Donald Trump said he will continue to campaign against the Biden administration’s record, and “we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly”.
  • Speaking to reporters before flying to Washington, DC, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel remains the US’s most important ally in the Middle East, regardless of who is elected president.
