Former Google CEO emerges as key Democratic power player ahead of midterms
Fox News
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has increased his political contribution activity, particularly focusing on helping Democrats, while also funding tech services for left-wing campaigns.
Schmidt particularly ramped up contributions in 2020, the data showed. He forked over $224,000 during the 2016 presidential cycle before giving a whopping $8.5 million in 2020 and more than $4 million during the current cycle. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The vast majority of his donations have gone to Democratic campaigns — his most recent Republican contribution, four payments to Sen. Mike Lee's, R-Utah, campaign, was recorded in March 2018.
