Left-wing billionaire donors, whom the Democrat Party relies on, are promising to bankroll Vice President Kamala Harris’s run for the presidency after President Joe Biden announced over the weekend that he would drop out of the race.
Like Biden, several billionaire donors have endorsed Harris — ensuring she has the support of the Democrat Party’s wealthiest backers, including George Soros and his son Alex Soros, the New York Times detailed:
Gretchen Sisson, a top Democratic bundler in California and a supporter of Ms. Harris, said the announcement was met with enthusiasm in her circles, and that she was collecting pledges that she could collect on later in the week. “My phone is exploding,” she said. “Lots of folks are asking where to contribute, what they can do to support the campaign, and wanting to write more. People who were committed but worried are now excited and energized.”
The endorsements came in hard and fast on Sunday afternoon from the Democratic Party’s billionaire class, the type of people who can write a seven- or eight-figure check to an outside pro-Harris group. Reid Hoffman, the Democratic mega-donor who was among Mr. Biden’s strongest supporters over the last few weeks amid the chaos, endorsed Ms. Harris for the presidency. Another major billionaire backer of Mr. Biden, Alex Soros, the heir to the famous Democratic philanthropist family, said he was backing her as well.
The nods also came from Democratic groups that steer big donors in their giving. Emily’s List, a big-money Democratic group that boosts women who support abortion rights and backed Ms. Harris during her vice presidency, offered an immediate endorsement. Way to Win, a major Democratic donor group with many members who are partial to Ms. Harris, also said that they were backing her.
As the Times mentioned, Reid Hoffman is among the biggest billionaire backers of Harris. In May 2023, Hoffman admitted to visiting convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, named “Little Saint James” but more commonly referred to as “Pedophile Island.”
