The endorsements are rolling in for V.P. Kamala Harris, which along with her incredible fundraising numbers are a show of force for the Vice President as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.
After President Joe Biden’s shocking news on Sunday afternoon that he was stepping aside in his bid for the 2024 presidency, he endorsed his Vice President, Kamala Harris.
Reports say no one knew Biden was going to do this, except his close family. So when the news dropped, it was a devastating blow to his supporters and the most of the pro-democracy movement (which does not include wealthy donors and people with big houses in other countries who won’t be impacted by a Trump presidency and don’t seem to care about the people who will).
Yet within hours, Act Blue was reporting huge levels of donations to Kamala Harris, which in a matter of hours had reached $27.5 million and by 9 PM Eastern, they had hit the same level that billionaire Elon Musk has pledged to pay Trump every month, with Act Blue reporting, “As of 9pm ET, grassroots supporters have raised $46.7 million through ActBlue following Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign launch. This has been the biggest fundraising day of the 2024 cycle. Small-dollar donors are fired up and ready to take on this election.”
Meanwhile the endorsements were rolling in, and here is a list shared by the Harris for President campaign:
