PBS News takes a look at what Harris has done so far and what it will take for her to become the Democratic nominee.

The Harris for President campaign has launched its first official video, less than a week after US President Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the race and his vice-president Kamala Harris said she was running for the nomination.
The ad caps a week during which Harris also broke funding records and quickly clinched enough delegate support to become the presumptive nominee in an election that is now just over 100 days away.
Released on Friday morning [?], the ad opens with shots of Harris’s smiling face behind a podium, the word Kamala, the word Harris, and the American flag. The soundtrack is the beginning of Beyoncé’s song Freedom, to which Harris entered and exited her first speech to campaign staffers after gaining lightning speed momentum on the road to becoming the presumptive nominee.
Vice President Kamala Harris was in Houston Thursday honing her campaign message. Four days into her bid for president, she is starting to see a surge of support and new openness from key voting blocs that could ultimately determine the election. It has former President Trump and his team racing to shift their strategy following President Biden’s withdrawal. Laura Barrón-López reports.
