Al Gore Endorses Kamala Harris For President

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during criminal justice roundtable

Former Vice President Al Gore has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential bid, highlighting her strong stance against big oil companies and commitment to addressing the climate crisis.

Gore praised Harris for her past actions, including taking on Big Oil companies as a prosecutor and securing a crucial tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, a landmark investment in climate solutions.

Expressing his support for Harris, Gore emphasized the importance of having a dedicated climate champion in the White House, especially given the urgent need for action on climate change.

Joining Gore in endorsing Harris were former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both of whom backed Harris following Biden's exit from the race.

During her tenure as California's attorney general, Harris made headlines for suing major oil companies like BP and ConocoPhillips, as well as launching an investigation into Exxon Mobil for its role in spreading climate change disinformation.

As a Senator, Harris further solidified her environmental credentials by sponsoring the Green New Deal resolution, a comprehensive plan aimed at combating climate change and promoting clean energy.

While running for president in 2020, Harris initially supported a ban on fracking but later adjusted her stance after becoming Joe Biden's running mate.

With a strong track record of taking on powerful interests and advocating for climate action, Harris continues to garner support from influential figures like Al Gore, further solidifying her position as a leading candidate in the presidential race.
