Biden bows out: Kamala Harris gains support from Stephen Curry

Joe Biden has decided not to run in the upcoming presidential elections in the United States. The current president indicated that he would support Kamala Harris's candidacy, who also has the trust of Stephen Curry, among others. The American is preparing for the first match during the Olympic Games in Paris.

American basketball star Stephen Curry on Thursday, July 25th, supported Kamala Harris's candidacy for the White House and expressed his belief that a successful performance by the United States team in Paris could help unite a divided nation.

"It's certainly a very interesting time for our country," said Curry to several hundred reporters. "Vice President Harris is prepared to bring her energy to this campaign and hopefully - if she's there - win the election," he added.

Curry firmly disagrees with Donald Trump's policies. A few years ago, he did not appear at the White House when the "Warriors" won the NBA championship, and Trump was the sitting president. His views align much more with Kamala Harris, and he hopes she will become the new president of the United States.

Although Harris is not an official candidate, polling firms have already conducted surveys. According to a poll by Siena College and the New York Times, Donald Trump currently holds the most support—48% want to vote for him. But the difference is minimal. 47% of the respondents want to vote for Kamala Harris.

This is excellent news for the Democrats. At the beginning of July, after an unfortunate debate and a few missteps, Biden trailed Trump by 6 percentage points.

Democrats will officially choose a candidate at the convention in August. According to the NYT poll, voters expect the party to consolidate and support Harris. Seventy percent of those voting for the Democratic Party expect this. Fourteen percent would like another candidate.
