(MENAFN) It has recently come to light that former United States President Donald trump previously donated to Kamala Harris’s Political campaigns, despite her now being a potential rival in the upcoming presidential race. Records from the California Secretary of State reveal that Trump’s organization contributed USD5,000 in 2011 while Harris was campaigning for re-election as attorney general. Additionally, Trump donated USD1,000 in 2013, and his daughter Ivanka Trump added another USD2,000 to Harris’s campaign in 2014.
This revelation gained significant attention on social media following President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the November elections and endorse Kamala Harris as his successor. Harris, now the vice president, has expressed her intent to “earn and win” the Democratic nomination to succeed Biden in the Oval Office.
During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump had openly admitted to contributing to both Democratic and Republican candidates, including his opponent at the time, Hillary Clinton. He made statements suggesting that political donations could influence politicians, asserting, “These politicians, they’re so bad... I’ve got to give it to them because when I want something, I get it. When I call, they kiss my a**.”
Trump further explained his broad range of political donations, noting that he had contributed to many of his rivals, including Harris. He reflected on his strategy, saying, “I’ve contributed to most of them. And one of them said, ‘No, I don’t think you’ve contributed to me.’ They found out I did. I contribute to everybody. I’ve given to Democrats. I’ve given to Hillary. I’ve given to everybody because that was my job.” This insight underscores Trump's approach to political donations and his perspective on influencing the political landscape.
