A person drowned Sunday at Nelson’s Landing, the National Park Service said Tuesday.

Lake Mead National Recreation Area rangers got a report of a drowning just before 6 p.m., spokesperson John Haynes said.

They found the body of “a male individual,” according to Haynes, and turned him over to the Clark County coroner’s office.

Haynes did not provide the name or age of the victim, saying that the coroner’s office would have to provide that information.

All 49 of Nevada’s national Democratic delegates unanimously backed the nomination of Kamala Harris to be the party’s presidential nominee.

Harris, 59, has secured more than the required 1,976 endorsements needed to become the party’s nominee in the first round of voting. There are 3,936 Democratic delegates in total, including former presidents, state and local party leaders, members of Congress and governors, but only about half get to vote in the first round.

California’s delegates put Harris over the top Monday evening when they voted unanimously to back the state’s former U.S. Senator for president. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for the vote.

The Nevada news first came in a social media post Monday night by Nevada State Democratic Party.

“We are united,” the party wrote.

Nevada State Democratic Party Chair Daniele Monroe-Moreno released a statement soon after explaining why:

“Vice President Kamala Harris understands Nevada – we were the first battleground state she visited this year – and Nevada Democrats know Vice President Harris has been instrumental to the Biden administration’s historic progress,” Monroe-Moreno said.

“She was at the forefront of efforts expanding access to health care, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, making housing more affordable, and keeping our communities safe. This work has led to a stronger economy, thousands of new good-paying union jobs, and defense of our fundamental rights.”

Monroe-Moreno said the party is already working hard to get Harris elected in November.

“Nevada Democrats never take any vote for granted, which is why we invested early in a ground game that will send Kamala Harris to the White House and elect Democrats up and down the ballot,” she said.

Delegates will attend the Democratic National Convention Aug. 19 to 22 in Chicago where they will express support for their nominee. The candidate receiving the most support from delegates across the nation will be the party’s pick for the November general election ballot.

The Democrats’ choice was put in flux when President Joe Biden announced Sunday he would not seek reelection. He quickly threw his support behind Harris.

Some Democrats had pushed for an open nominating process where multiple candidates would be considered, but most top elected Democrats – such as Rep. Nancy Pelosi – have endorsed Harris.

In Northern Nevada, Washoe County Democratic Party chair Carissa Snedeker said the overwhelming choice from people contacting her is Harris.

“She’s such a strong candidate,” Snedeker said.

It will ultimately be up to delegates to pick the nominee. The Democratic Party on Monday laid out plans to hold a virtual vote to pick a nominee before August 7, weeks before the Democratic National Convention that’s scheduled to run August 19-22 in Chicago.

Other candidates could put their name in for consideration at that time, but if Harris has secured the necessary votes any challenge would be short lived. The vice president has already largely gathered the support of the governors, Capitol Hill Democrats and others who would vote in a second round.

Nevada Democrats have rushed to offer words of support for Vice President Kamala Harris, but the question of whether the state’s delegates will back her candidacy remains unresolved.

The state party will be meeting with delegates sometime in the next 48 hours to determine how the Nevada Democratic delegates are feeling about Harris as a candidate, according to someone with knowledge of the party who was not authorized to speak on the record.

Queries to more than a dozen delegates went unanswered Sunday; those who responded echoed their support for the vice president.

Nevada’s Democratic members of Congress have all voiced their support for Harris. Reps. Dina Titus and Steven Horsford confirmed they will vote for her at the convention as a superdelegate if the need arises. Superdelegates do not vote in the first round at the Democratic convention.

Democratic Rep. Susie Lee and Sens. Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto’s issued statements voicing support for Harris, though their spokespeople have not returned requests on whether or not they’ll commit their superdelegate votes to Harris.

‘The choice is clear’

In a social media post Monday, Nevada Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager endorsed Harris, adding that he was “ridin’ with Biden” but is now “cruisin’ with” the vice president.

“I will be working hard each and every day to elect Democrats up and down the ticket,” the delegate’s post said.

Delegate and Nevada State Sen. Fabian Donate took to social media to endorse Harris’ nomination, adding that she could help with the crucial Latino vote.

“As an immigrant’s daughter, Kamala Harris knows the struggles our families have faced in this country,” Donate wrote in Spanish. “Now is the time that the U.S. get with the times and elect our first female president!”

Nevada delegate Matt Kimball told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Monday that he was “on board” with Harris, noting that she would be the first Asian American to receive the presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party.

“As an Asian American, I think that’s incredible that this country has come very far from where it started,” Kimball said.

Kimball, who has been involved with Nevada politics since 2017, and much longer before that, recalled witnessing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton give her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.

“The energy in that room was incredible,” he said. “I can tell you that Chicago is going to be amazing.”

Kimball, who had supported Biden’s nomination, said that as of Monday morning, he’d only spoken to a couple of fellow delegates, but he imagined that there would be more formal meetings in the near future.

While he doesn’t know how the convention will play out, Kimball said he was positive Harris would prevail.

“I don’t think we’re going to see what happened in Chicago last cycle,” he said about the split and contentious 1968 convention there.

Kimball — a union worker — said he planned to vote for Harris at the convention, and then in November.

“The choice is clear,” he said, “Donald Trump crossed my union’s picket line (in New York) in 04. I’m never going to vote for a candidate who does that.”

Clark County Commissioner William McCurdy II, who also is a delegate, endorsed Harris on Sunday because in regards to Nevada, she “shows up, listens and she delivers.”

This election will be the most important of our lives, and I could not be more proud to endorse and work to elect Kamala Harris as our next POTUS!,” he wrote on social media.

The campaign raised $81 million in its first 24 hours since Harris announced her bid for president on Sunday, her campaign announced Monday. The $81 million will be added to the existing nearly quarter of a billion dollar war chest amassed throughout the election cycle.
