When President Biden suddenly ended his reelection campaign over the weekend and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, numerous Democrats were quick to point out that former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, had previously supported Harris.
Tweets circulated with an image of a check from 2011 showing that Trump had donated $5,000 to the campaign of then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris. One Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Jared Moskowitz, of Florida, posted the picture of the check with the caption: "Wise investment."
Campaign finance records show Donald Trump donated twice to reelect Kamala Harris as the attorney general of California. Records show Trump made a $5,000 donation in 2011, months after she was first sworn in, and another $1,000 donation in 2013, one year before she was reelected for a second term.
