CBSN
Vice President Kamala Harris is traveling to the battleground state of Wisconsin for her first campaign rally since she launched her presidential campaign a day ago.
By Monday evening, her nascent campaign said it had raised $100 million, and she had secured the endorsements of a majority of the Democratic delegates who will soon be weighing in on her nomination in an early virtual roll call vote. That vote to formalize her presidential nomination is expected to take place in the first week of August, weeks before the Democratic National Convention.
Hours before the rally, which will take place in West Allis, a Milwaukee suburb, Harris also won the endorsements of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi endorsed her Monday.
Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear banned the use of "conversion therapy" on minors in Kentucky on Wednesday, calling his executive order an overdue step to protect children from a widely discredited practice that tries to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling. Over 20 other states that have passed laws prohibiting the controversial treatment.
