Montel Williams has made it clear that he does not endorse Kamala Harris for President despite their past relationship, which has come under scrutiny following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Williams, a former talk show host, instead expressed his support for Maryland Governor Wes Moore. He praised Moore’s leadership and expressed his readiness to campaign for him.
Williams preemptively addressed the media, warning them against probing into his previous relationship with Harris, which dates back over 20 years. He emphasized that this part of his life is ancient history and irrelevant to the current political scenario. Williams stated that any inquiries about his past with Harris would be met with strong disapproval from his press team.
Despite Biden’s endorsement of Harris, Williams remained firm in his stance, clarifying that he would vote for whoever can beat Donald Trump. He reiterated his preference for Moore, reflecting his belief in Moore’s leadership abilities. Williams also pointed out that he had retweeted Governor Moore’s endorsement of Harris, suggesting his willingness to support the Democratic nominee.

This situation underscores the intense scrutiny and personal invasions that accompany political campaigns. It also highlights Williams’ efforts to focus on the future of the Democratic Party rather than dwelling on past personal relationships. As the race for the Democratic nomination continues, the media and public remain keenly interested in endorsements and political alliances.
