Harris addressed the DNC crowd from a rally in Milwaukee and thanked the delegates for nominating her as the Democratic presidential nominee.

California, Harris' home state, delivered the delegates to send Harris over the top during the ceremonial roll call.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered the final delegates to make Bay Area native and Vice President Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nominee ceremonially.

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that the state is casting its 482 votes for Harris, whom he called a "bright star" whose star has gotten even brighter as she served as the state's attorney general, a U.S. senator and now as vice president.

"Kamala Harris has always done the right thing, a champion for voting rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights," Newsom said. "It's time for us to do the right thing -- and that is to elect Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States of America."

Harris is already officially the nominee after the DNC held a virtual roll call earlier this month. Still, the symbolism, and the relationship between Newsom and Harris, is significant.

The lively ceremonial roll call has so far featured some surprise cameos alongside more expected political leaders from their respective states.

Standing along the Indiana delegates was actor Sean Astin of "The Goonies" fame, while Louisiana native Wendell Pierce, an actor known for "The Wire," joined his state's delegates as they cast their votes for Harris.

The crowd was also treated to a surprise appearance by Lil Jon when Georgia delegates cast their votes.

At Harris' rally in Milwaukee, the campaign announced in the arena that the vice president will be broadcast into the DNC and that they want the crowd here to "bring the energy."

"I'm really going to need this energy when they broadcast this live, right?" said Jaliah Jefferson, Wisconsin deputy organizing director, Milwaukee. "VP Harris will be beamed into TVs all across the country."

"So when it's our moment, we need to get loud and leave no doubt that Wisconsin is going to send Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to the White House," she added.

Crowds have been waiting for hours to enter the Fiserv Forum -- where the RNC was held last month. The arena is packed with people and it's a party vibe. The music has been pumping loudly, people are dancing and waving their light-up wristbands. The bass in the music is so loud the floor is vibrating.
