CA delivers final delegates to ceremonially make VP Harris the Democratic presidential nominee

Ahead of former President Barack Obama's big speech, California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered the final delegates to make Vice President Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nominee ceremonially.

Harris Mojadedi is a first-time delegate from the East Bay and he's excited for Tuesday's big roll call.

"This is a key moment for our nation to nominate the first woman of color, an African American woman, and a South Asian American woman - as the son of a South Asian woman. I might get a little teary-eyed," said Mojadedi.
