Vice President Kamala Harris looks set to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

She has already received several influential political endorsements, including the support of President Joe Biden. Within 24 hours of Biden dropping his reelection bid, Harris had secured enough delegates for the nomination.

Money has also been pouring into her campaign. It broke the record for the biggest single-day fundraising boost, pulling in $81 million.

She's also been picking up support from business leaders and billionaires. Here are some of those who want to see Harris become president.

Sheryl Sandberg

The former Meta executive Sheryl Sandberg on Monday endorsed Harris for president on social media.

In an Instagram post, Sandberg said she was thrilled to support the vice president.

"@kamalaharris has already made history once — becoming the first Black and South Asian woman to hold her office, and she will do it again in November," Sandberg wrote.

"She is an accomplished leader, a fierce advocate of abortion rights, and the strongest candidate to lead our country forward," she added.

Reed Hastings

Netflix's cofounder Reed Hastings is supporting Harris' presidential bid with a $7 million donation .

He told The Information it was the largest donation he'd made to a single candidate.

Hastings didn't immediately endorse Harris after Biden ended his run and backed his vice president. Shortly after Biden's announcement on Sunday, he posted on X : "Dem delegates need to pick a swing state winner."

Ron Conway

The Silicon Valley "super angel" investor Ron Conway has also backed Harris' presidential run.

In an X post Monday, Conway called her "a fighter, a leader, and an advocate for the tech ecosystem."

"The tech community must come together to defeat Donald Trump and save our democracy by uniting behind Vice President @KamalaHarris as the Democratic nominee for President," he said.

George Soros and Alex Soros

Alex Soros, the son of the legendary investor George Soros and head of Soros Fund Management, has also called for Democrats to rally around Harris.

"It's time for us all to unite around Kamala Harris and beat Donald Trump," he posted Sunday on X . "She is the best and most qualified candidate we have. Long live the American Dream!"

A spokesperson for George Soros told The Wall Street Journal that he also supported Harris.

Melinda French Gates

Melinda French Gates, a billionaire philanthropist and Bill Gates' ex-wife, publicly endorsed Harris on Tuesday.

She said in an X post: "I am proud to support Vice President Harris. During her years in the White House, she has proven that she knows how to lead through crises while pushing for the change we need."
