Democratic National Convention Committee rules say "candidates for nomination" had until 6 p.m. ET on Saturday July 27 to file with the convention’s secretary when the window to do so closed.
Harris held her first fundraiser since becoming the Democrat's likely nominee in the run for the White House earlier on Saturday in Pittsfield, Massachusetts as she hoped to raise over $1.4 million, her campaign said.
