Climate Groups, Gore Endorse Kamala Harris for President
Today, former Vice President Al Gore announced his support for Vice President Kamala Harris for president. In his endorsement, Vice President Gore cited Harris’ long record of standing up against oil and gas executives in support of the middle class and our climate. As an attorney general, she sued Big Oil and won, and, as vice president, she helped pass the largest-ever investment to tackle the climate crisis and create hundreds of thousands of clean energy jobs.
Earlier this week, four leading environmental groups also announced their endorsement of Vice President Harris for President of the United States. The environmental groups endorsing Harris for President include the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund, the Sierra Club, the NRDC Action Fund, and Clean Energy for America Action. These endorsements follow the massive groundswell of support for the Vice President’s candidacy, including endorsements from youth organizing groups, labor unions, advocacy groups, and dozens of Democratic elected officials.
Al Gore wrote in a post on X:
“As a prosecutor, @KamalaHarris took on Big Oil companies – and won. As @VP, she cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the most significant investment in climate solutions in history, the Inflation Reduction Act. That’s the kind of climate champion we need in the White House. With so much at stake in this year’s election – from strengthening democracy in the US and abroad, to expanding opportunity for the American people, to accelerating climate action – I’m proud to endorse Kamala Harris for President.”
