Michael Bloomberg becomes 2nd largest Harris donor behind George Soros: Report
Fox News
Michael Bloomberg just cut a check for $50 million to support the Vice President Kamala Harris campaign, making him the vice president's second largest individual donor this cycle.
The $50 million went to Future Forward USA Action, the main dark money super PAC that is supporting Harris. Prior to Harris taking over the ticket, Future Forward was the main political action committee supporting Biden.
Bloomberg's donation follows another $50 million donation to Future Forward from Bill Gates. Sources who spoke to the Times indicated that Bloomberg and his team had been fielding requests from high-profile Democratic donors, such as Gates, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and venture capitalist Ron Conway, urging the former mayor to consider cutting a check for Harris. Two people familiar with the matter said that Bloomberg also recently spoke with Harris over the phone.
