Politico: Harris Supporters Preparing To Nominate Her For US President

They have started to attract donors.

Allies of Vice President Kamala Harris have begun courting Democratic donors to provide financial support for her if President Joe Biden drops out of the 2024 race.

This has been reported by Politico.

According to the publication’s sources, one Democratic donor adviser has begun collecting pledges from female Democratic donors to support Harris, while a women’s political organization has begun speaking to its donor base in an effort to ensure an initial wave of contributions to a potential Harris campaign.

“What’s important is that there’s a massive show of support for her right away, which shows a signal that we’re all in for her,” said a leader of the women’s political organization granted anonymity to speak about sensitive Democratic Party planning.

According to her, the organization has begun preparing emails and messaging. Those who focus on supporting female candidates have already begun planning to help Harris with a quick show of force, with lists of donors ready, the person added. Some donors have already proactively indicated they want to give money.

Donors are “lining up to support” Harris “as soon as she’s a potential nominee,” the political leader added. “We certainly know that we are hearing from all of our donors that they want to support her.”

The donor adviser, however, said five donors had already committed to potentially contribute six-figure donations to a Democratic ticket with Harris as the principal. But that effort is still nascent, and the status of the campaign funding would be unclear if multiple women are ultimately in the running for the nomination, the person emphasized.

But the momentum to bolster Harris’ standing, propelled by female donors, also suggests that her position as a replacement for Biden is mutable, the Politico journalists believe.

In the event of an open convention, other men like California Governor Gavin Newsom or Illinois Governor JB Pritzker could become contenders. Newsom, with significant resources from California, is a powerful fundraiser and emissary for the party, and Pritzker is a multi-billionaire heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune.
