Bill Gates on Kamala Harris's US presidential bid: 'It's great to have somebody younger'

In an interview with FRANCE 24, Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates discussed the US presidential bid of Vice President Kamala Harris, who is set to be the new Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid. Gates welcomed the prospect of "somebody who's younger, who can think about things like AI". Harris is 59 years old while her rival – former president Donald Trump – recently turned 78.

Lived for three years in West Africa. There were local medic people going around to vaccinate children against mainly polio. The medics would revisit the courtyards 6 times in the hope to get most children vaccinated. (Some uneducated mothers would tell the children to hide)....
One day i asked those medics who is paying for this gargantuan mission... The Gates foundation he answered. My view on this man changed drastically that day.

It is crystal clear he's voting for Kamala. Look at his preference: Strengthen Allies, and Action on Climate change. But he's not endorsing her because of neutrality. It's ok, Bill. Thanks for letting us know your position ! It's the right decision.

His ex-wife, Melinda Gates is for Kamala Harris which is good and assumably Bill, too based on his take on climate change and relationship with allies. Kudos!

He just made it very clear who he will be voting for. No mistaking it.

Improving infrastructure and education, creating job opportunities will also build a long lasting, constructive and stable future for the young generation in Africa

Much respect to Gates for his humanitarian efforts — a good man.🙏🏻💙

Watch, Bill is going to give a few million to Kamala and ask not to tell the public.

My deepest respect for this man. He spends billions to help people who need help.

Thank you Mr. Gates. Your wisdom, generosity and kind actions have been helping many all over the world! This is a great interview!

What is the intention of this headline, while 99% of this video is not about Kamala Harris?

[leanderrowe]

"Someone who cares about our allies and cares about the climate." That's DEFINITELY not Donald Trump. 😂😂

Thankyou. Great to hear from someone working for humanity instead of against it. Good interview. Merci.

Chuck Feeney was the most amazing Billionaire but I know Bill respected him too. Giving while living, so much good to do with wealth if you have it.

[LadyAndanaZerva]

He has two obsessions: AFRICA and VACCINES.

[carlyoung]

He has probably helped more children then anyone.How can anyone talk bad about him.

[guybeauregard]

Good interviewer. Thank you for posting this.

He is Democrat, always was. He likes to improve lives of the poorest around the world. He is advocated to improve the lives of the poorest in Africa. He is a great human being, and also Melinda, they are both amazing people.

bill gates' is so underrated due to Trump's lies!

[chegevarra]

It's not that we fail to help the people who lives in poverty but it's because we have failed to satisfy the rich

So good to see that Bill is not siding with Elon...yeeeeaahhh 💯
