In the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris seems to be struggling in many aspects, except for one – fundraising. Cash is pouring into her campaign coffers at an impressive rate, with reports suggesting that the campaign is hesitant to boast about it.
Despite the financial support, Harris continues to face challenges as a candidate. From scripted speeches to evasive responses to tough questions, her previous presidential campaign and current vice presidency have been marred by mediocrity and failure.
Interestingly, one group that seems to be enthusiastic about Harris’ campaign is billionaires. Despite the traditional left-leaning stance of the Democratic Party, these ultra-wealthy individuals are throwing their support behind Harris. The reason behind this unexpected support could be attributed to their ability to afford virtue-signaling policies that may not impact them personally.
While some may argue that supporting Harris is a political or financial decision, it is more likely a cultural and psychological one. The disdain for former President Donald Trump among the wealthy elite has driven them to back Harris, despite Trump’s superior performance in various policy areas.
The shift in political dynamics, with the GOP becoming the party of the working class and Democrats aligning with billionaires, is a result of Trump’s presidency. His appeal to blue-collar workers and policy successes have reshaped the political landscape, leaving Democrats and their billionaire supporters in a precarious position.
As the 2024 election approaches, the divide between the working class and the elite continues to widen, with Harris relying on billionaire support while the GOP solidifies its position as the party of the people.
