Kamala Harris Wins Endorsement of Dozens of Nobel Prize Winners, 1,000+ Religious Leaders

HeadlineOct 30, 2024

A group of 82 U.S. Nobel Prize winners have signed an open letter endorsing Kamala Harris for president, arguing a Trump presidency would “jeopardize any advancements in our standards of living, slow the progress of science and technology and impede our responses to climate change.”

Meanwhile, more than 1,000 religious leaders across the U.S. have offered a joint endorsement of Harris. Rev. Dr. Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said, “Harris will provide us the opportunity to preserve our democracy and rule of law as we continue the people’s fight to create a just, humane, and equitable society.” She added, “A vote for Kamala Harris is not an endorsement of US funding for the war [on Gaza].” 

Meanwhile, Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders has released a video urging supporters to vote for Harris in what he called “the most consequential election in our lifetimes.” Sanders cited Harris’s positions on reproductive rights, wealth inequality and the climate crisis.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “And some of you are saying, 'How can I vote for Kamala Harris if she is supporting this terrible war?' And that is a very fair question. And let me give you my best answer. And that is that even on this issue, Donald Trump and his right-wing friends are worse.”
