Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates has weighed in on Vice President Kamala Harris’s US presidential bid, expressing his support for her candidacy. In an interview with FRANCE 24, Gates praised Harris as a younger candidate who can bring fresh perspectives to the table, particularly on issues related to artificial intelligence (AI).
With President Joe Biden dropping his re-election bid, Harris is now poised to be the new Democratic nominee for the presidency. Gates’ endorsement of Harris comes as a nod to her relative youth in comparison to her rival, former president Donald Trump, who recently celebrated his 78th birthday.
At 59 years old, Harris represents a new generation of leadership in American politics, and Gates believes that her understanding of emerging technologies like AI will be crucial in shaping the country’s future. As a prominent figure in the tech world, Gates’ support for Harris signals a recognition of the importance of harnessing innovative solutions to address complex challenges facing society.
Harris’s candidacy has already sparked excitement and debate among voters, and Gates’ endorsement adds another layer of credibility to her campaign. As the presidential race heats up, all eyes will be on Harris as she navigates the political landscape and makes her case for the highest office in the land.
