Dozens More Billionaires Backed Harris Over Trump
10th November 2024
Billionaires favored Vice President Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s election over President-elect Donald Trump, according to Forbes’ analysis of campaign finance disclosures.
Eighty-three billionaires threw verbal or financial support behind Harris, while 53 backed Trump, according to Forbes. Trump’s victory on election night came despite a massive financial disadvantage, with his campaign raising $388 million as of Oct. 16, compared to the nearly $1 billion the Harris campaign had collected.
A coalition of Harris’ wealthy backers wrote a letter in September explaining their support for her.
A pointed reminder that Democrats remain the Party of the Rich.
