Abigail Disney Backs Kamala Harris Campaign

Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Walt Disney Co. cofounder Roy O. Disney, has announced her return to donating to the Democratic Party following President Joe Biden's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as the 2024 presidential candidate. Disney previously declared she would cease contributions unless Biden stepped down, expressing her belief that his continued candidacy would jeopardize the Democrats' chances against Donald Trump. Now, she plans to support Harris 'with all my heart' and will host a fundraising event for her campaign. Disney emphasized the need for Democrats to rally behind Harris, citing issues of race and gender in their support dynamics. Other notable figures, including Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, have also shown support for Harris following Biden's withdrawal. This shift in support signifies a substantial change in the Democratic fundraising landscape as the party prepares for the upcoming election.
