      She is a candidate. She’s not the nominee yet.

      You’re a candidate as soon as you announce. There can be dozens or hundreds of candidates. You just don’t get to be on the ticket until you’re nominated by your party.

          She is indeed, officially:

          “The Biden-Harris campaign on Sunday formally amended filings with the Federal Election Commission to rename its principal committee and declare Kamala Harris a candidate for president.”

      She is a candidate.
      100%.
