Reed Hastings has come out big for Kamala Harris, cutting the vice president’s 2024 election campaign a check for $7 million.
The Netflix co-founder and executive chairman revealed the massive donation to the tech-focused site The Information on Tuesday. “After the depressing debate, we are in the game again,” Hastings told The Information. He added that it was the largest donation he had ever given to a single candidate.
Earlier this month, in the aftermath of Joe Biden’s disastrous first presidential debate performance, Hastings went public with his frustrations with the president running for re-election. “Biden needs to step aside to allow a vigorous Democratic leader to beat Trump and keep us safe and prosperous,” Hastings told the New York Times.
