Harris Raises $100M, Gains Key Endorsements

Following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris has rapidly secured significant support and funding for her presidential bid. High-profile endorsements from figures such as George Clooney, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama, alongside a historic fundraising haul of over $100 million, have positioned Harris as the likely Democratic nominee. A CBS News-YouGov poll indicates strong support among Democratic voters, particularly from young people, with 79% backing Harris. Concurrently, in the Republican camp, Rep. August Pfluger has entered the race to lead the Republican Study Committee, emphasizing his leadership experience and ability to build consensus. Pfluger is set to compete against Rep. Ben Cline and potentially other candidates for the role.
