    This is only the second time ever that *Scientific American* has endorsed a candidate in a presidential election in its 179-year history, once again endorsing the candidate running against Donald Trump. While this is pretty historical, it probably isn’t a huge surprise: Kamala Harris is the only candidate in this race who actually believes in science.

    Scientific American magazine announced Monday that it was endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 race, citing her plans to improve the nation’s health care system, fight climate change and support reproductive rights.

    Thanks to Trump all kinds of people and entities that would not normally make a political endorsement are doing so.

    No Scientific American endorsement

    No Wall Paid for By Mexico

    No Lock her Up

    No Hunter in jail

    No second term

    No help from Supreme Court

    No court cases won

    No proud boys

    No 2024

    So much losing !

    > Zoom in: The editors went on to compare Harris and Trump's records and proposed policies across health care, gun safety, reproductive rights, climate and technology.

    > State of play: The Scientific American is just the latest influential endorsement for Harris.

  6. Harris compared to the anti science, anti public health, seditious insurrectionist felon…it’s not a difficult choice.

  7. >Harris “offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence and the willingness to learn from experience,” the magazine’s editors wrote.

    >”She pushes policies that boost good jobs nationwide by embracing technology and clean energy. She supports education, public health and reproductive rights” and “treats the climate crisis as the emergency it is.”

  8. The first time they endorsed a candidate it was Biden. He turned out to be the worst President in history, and mentally unfit to run for a second term.
