Kamala Says She Doesn’t Take Corporate Cash, But These CEOs Are Dumping Money Into Her Campaign
Story by Robert Schmad • 16h
Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign touts its refusal to accept contributions from corporate PACs, all while taking donations from corporate executives.
In the ten days after Harris officially took the reins of President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign on July 21, dozens of corporate executives showered her with tens of thousands of dollars, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reviewed by Daily Caller News Foundation. Despite the corporate enthusiasm for Harris, the vice president has attempted to distance herself from big business, stating on her donation page that her campaign “does not accept contributions from corporations or their PACs.”
Banking, media, retail, pharmaceutical and tech executives are all well represented among the individuals who poured cash into the vice president’s campaign following the news of Biden’s withdrawal from the race, FEC records show. Executives at Amazon, Salesforce, Vox Media, Citigroup and Uber made maximum contributions to the Harris campaign within its first ten days.
LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings were among the first prominent tech leaders to throw their support behind Harris.
