Harris is Scientific *********’s second presidential endorsement in its history, after the magazine backed President This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up during the 2020 election. “The US faces two futures,” the editors wrote, pushing one candidate who “offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence and the willingness to learn from experience.” They continued: “In the other future, the new president endangers public health and safety and rejects evidence, preferring instead nonsensical *********** fantasies.” Scientific *********, which has a global readership of six million, cited Harris’s record as vice president, senator and presidential candidate as reasons for endorsing her. They acknowledged that Trump, “also has a record – a disastrous one,” during his time in the White House. The magazine firstly focused on the candidates’ healthcare policies and proposals, in particular, health insurance in its comparison.
