Bill Gates Donates $50M To Support Kamala Harris’ US Presidential Campaign

Bill Gates has donated USD 50 million to a non-profit organization supporting Democratic Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris.

The New York Times recently revealed this via their latest publication, and the world has been reacting.

According to NYT, the donation was intended to remain confidential because Bill has not publicly endorsed Harris, and it went straight to Future Forward’s non-profit arm, Future Forward USA Action.

Gates said, “This election is different. I support candidates who demonstrate a clear commitment to improving health care, reducing poverty, and fighting climate change in the US and around the world.”

WOW.

Kamala Devi Harris, born October 20, 1964) is an American politician and attorney who is the 49th and current vice president of the United States since 2021, under President Joe Biden. She is the first female vice president and the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history, as well as the first African American and first South Asian American vice president.

A member of the Democratic Party, she served as a U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021, and earlier as the attorney general of California.

Following the withdrawal of Joe Biden from the presidential race, Harris is the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party in the 2024 presidential election.

Harris met her future husband, attorney Doug Emhoff, through a mutual friend who set up Harris and Emhoff on a blind date in 2013. Emhoff, who was born in a Jewish family, was an entertainment lawyer who became partner-in-charge at Venable LLP’s Los Angeles office.
