No climate platform? No problem—at least not for some.
By Emily Atkin, Heated
A coalition of lefty green groups that had not publicly endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2024 are planning to formally endorse Kamala Harris on Wednesday, HEATED has learned.
The groups—part of the more upstart, agitator wing of the national environmental movement—include the political arms of Friends of the Earth, the Center for Biological Diversity, Food and Water Watch, and Clean Water Action.
Climate Hawks Vote, a California-based PAC that aims to elect outspoken climate leaders, will also endorse the sitting vice president, marking the first presidential endorsement in the organization’s 10-year history.
Harris has already received endorsements from the so-called “Big Green” groups—the political arms of the League of Conservation Voters, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Sierra Club, and Clean Energy for America. But those weren’t much of a surprise, as each group had already backed Biden’s re-election bid, and are traditionally loyal to Democratic Party politicians.
The groups endorsing Harris on Wednesday, however, had so far held off on throwing their support behind Biden while he was running for re-election—in part because of the sitting president’s mixed record on climate policy.
