Bill Gates privately said he had donated about $50 million to a nonprofit organization supporting Kamala Harris, the New York Times reported, citing three people briefed on the matter.
The Microsoft co-founder's donation to Future Forward, the main outside fundraising group for Harris, was meant to stay under-wraps, the outlet reported.
Gates has not publicly endorsed a presidential candidate in the past, but had previously praised Harris when she became the Democratic nominee, saying that it was "great" there was somebody younger running.
