Kamala Harris Gains Key Endorsements, Poll Shows Potential Win with Shapiro After Biden Withdraws

Jul 22, 2024, 03:25 PM

Following President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, several prominent figures in Democratic politics, including Hillary Clinton and megadonor George Soros, have quickly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the top of the ticket. Despite the swift support, some donors are questioning the urgency of this backing. A recent poll in two swing states suggests that Harris could win the 2024 election with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate. Kamala Harris is currently leading the betting market for the 2024 Democratic primaries. Harris, now a clear front-runner, received unexpected news shortly after Biden's withdrawal. However, Biden's withdrawal has also sparked criticism and mockery regarding his age and Harris's candidacy.
