SUMMARY
Bill Gates recently commented on Vice President Kamala Harris entering the presidential race. In an interview with France 24, Gates praised having "somebody who's younger" in the race who can address issues like AI. However, Gates did not endorse her, stating he doesn’t "tell other people how to vote" due to his association with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee after President Biden announced on July 21st that he wouldn't seek a second term, endorsing Harris the same day. Meanwhile, former President Trump secured the Republican nomination earlier in the month. Gates hopes the new government will care about allies and the climate, claiming that his priority will remain advancing his foundation’s efforts for "the world’s children."
