Melinda French Gates has thrown her support behind Vice President Kamala Harris for the upcoming US Presidential election. Melinda emphasised the importance of reproductive freedom, support for caregivers, and the empowerment of women in society.
She praised Harris for her inspiring vision for America and her practical experience in implementing change. Gates highlighted Harris’s efforts in advocating for reproductive rights, addressing racial disparities in maternal health care, and pushing for more affordable family care policies.
Melinda stated, “I am proud to support Vice President Harris. During her years in the White House, she has proven that she knows how to lead through crises while pushing for the change we need. I want her fighting for our country for the next four years.”
Melinda’s endorsement comes as reports emerged that Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the support of more than half the Democratic delegates to become her party’s nominee against former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Incumbent President Joe Biden dropped out of the US presidential elections on Sunday and endorsed Harris as the party’s new nominee for the November elections.
