Truth : California DNC delegates did not refuse to vote for Kamala Harris!
This appears to be an example of fake news circulating on social media, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : California and Minnesota passed during DNC roll call
Let me start by pointing out that it wasn’t just California delegates who “passed” on voting for Kamala Harris during DNC roll call, Minnesota delegates also did the same.
Fact #2 : California and Minnesota passed as tradition dictated
Even though delegates from California and Minnesota passed on voting for Kamala Harris during the DNC roll call, they eventually did so at the end.
As WUSA9 explains, that’s because it’s tradition for the nominees’ home states to pass on voting initially, so they can cast the “deciding votes” at the end of the roll call.
Why California, Minnesota passed at the DNC
California and Minnesota, the home states of Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, have passed during the convention roll call — letting the party roll on.
This year’s roll call has been unlike any in political history. But one tradition held, the one mandating that the home state of the nominee generally passes, then goes near the end to pass the deciding vote to formally clinch the nomination.
This year, Minnesota, where Walz is governor, could get the count close and let Harris’ California and its motherlode of delegates put her over the top as the Democratic nominee.
Vice President nominee Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota, so its delegates voted to nominate Kamala Harris close to the end. Kamala Harris is from California, so its large number of delegates were given the privilege to put her over the top as the Democratic Party nominee in the 2024 Presidential election.
In fact, it was California governor Gavin Newsom who delivered the state’s delegates to Vice President Kamala Harris, surrounded by members of the California delegation.

Fact #3 : No legitimate report of CA delegates refusing to vote for Kamala Harris
If delegates from California actually refused to vote to nominate Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for President, it would have been widely reported.
Yet, there has been no legitimate media reporting of such a shocking development. That’s because it never happened – the delegates from California voted for her at the end, as tradition dictated.
Fact #4 : DNC roll call was only ceremonial
I should also point out that the roll call vote during the 2024 Democratic National Convention was only ceremonial, because the Democratic Party already held a virtual vote on August 6, that formally nominated Kamala Harris as its official nominee in the 2024 Presidential election.
What you saw at the 2024 DNC was just a fun, “celebratory” roll call, with DJ Cassidy spinning a special song for each state as they took their turn to nominate Kamala Harris.
