The Democratic National Committee announced today that Vice President Kamala Harris had secured enough delegates to clinch the Democratic Party’s nomination for president. She will be the first Black woman and person of South Asian heritage to earn the top spot on a major party’s ticket.

Harris’s nomination will become official after the party’s virtual roll call vote ends on Monday, capping off a month of chaos for Democrats. Just two weeks ago, they were still debating which candidate would have the best chance of defeating Donald Trump in November.

Now, with the party uniting behind her, Harris is using the lessons from her troubled 2020 campaign to reintroduce herself to the American public as a different type of presidential candidate, my colleague Astead Herndon wrote. Here’s how she has changed.

Here’s what else to know:

• The Harris campaign has completed its formal process of vetting running mates. She will meet with finalists this weekend.

• Harris hired a senior U.S. diplomat to be the chief of staff to her vice-presidential pick’s campaign, and she brought on several former advisers to Barack Obama.

• Harris’s campaign said it raised $310 million in July, more than double the funds raised by Trump.

• Trump has taken the age-old political tactic of presenting an opponent as somehow “not one of us” to another level.

• Trump cited investments in opportunity zones as a triumph. Their success has been middling.
