Tennessee's Democratic delegates vote to endorse VP Kamala Harris for president

Tennessee Democratic National Convention delegates are ready to throw their support behind Vice President Kamala Harris as their new presidential nominee after President Joe Biden announced Sunday he would drop his reelection campaign.

On a Sunday afternoon call, the Tennessee delegates unanimously voted to support Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination, three delegates said, a signal of a fast-moving effort to coalesce behind the vice president in the hours after Biden dropped out.

Megan Lange, a DNC delegate for the Tennessee Congressional District 6, said she feels "strongly" the Volunteer State delegation will unite behind the vice president.

"Her name is already out there. She's connected with donors and voters in a large way," said Lange, a member of the Tennessee Democratic Party Executive Committee. "She has the stage presence that is needed, and we have 107 days left until Election Day. That is more than enough time for someone who has such a strong platform to simply expand it."
