Former FBI director James Comey endorsed the Democratic presidential ticket, specifically Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden. Comey stated that Harris made him feel like it’s finally morning in America and urged all those who care about the rule of law and America’s role in the world to vote for Harris and Biden. Comey’s endorsement comes after a strained relationship with former President Donald Trump, who fired Comey in 2017, leading Comey to publicly denounce Trump as morally unfit for the presidency.
Despite being a longtime Republican, Comey supported Biden in the 2020 Democratic primary, a move that the Biden campaign initially seemed hesitant to embrace. Biden’s then-director of rapid response sarcastically commented on social media about Comey’s endorsement, indicating that it was unwanted.
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Comey’s endorsement. Comey’s support adds to the momentum behind the Harris-Biden ticket and highlights the continued divide between Comey and Trump. Comey’s endorsement is significant as he is a well-known figure in law enforcement and politics and his support could potentially influence other voters to support Harris and Biden in the upcoming election.
