The streamer's co-founder and executive chairman had earlier come out against Joe Biden after the president's poor performance in the first debate.
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.

let’s see some response to this!
NetFlix has got to be some huge money laundering scheme…
Time to dump Netflix....
We dumped netflix a long time ago.
I think so.
His wife is a flaming lib.
Perfect. That’s one less thing (Netflix) to waste time on.
Makes me nearly want to cancel my Netflix subscription, except then how will I get my superb Netflix Korean drama shows.
I really am schizoid about billionaire and giant corporate election donations; wishing they wouldn’t do it (wishing they were publicly politically neutral) but would hate the laws that would prevent it, for if their donations can be prevented than down the road so can mine.
Netflix will have a documentary remake of Kamala out soon. You will be told it’s the number 1 watched on Netflix for 12 weeks
Tell me again how Obama is against this?
I signed up on NetFlix because people kept asking me if I watched something or the other. Looked around a bit and cancelled the same day. Garbage
Dropped Netflix a long time ago. Seems they need another round of cancelations.
A former board member of Honeywell told me companies often gave to both parties to ensure access. When you go talk to a congressman he has at his fingertips what you gave him and the party. They usually don’t know what gave you opposition and they don’t care.
The Trump campaign filed a complaint on Tuesday with the FEC accusing Biden and Harris of violating campaign finance laws by rolling over Biden’s campaign funds to Harris. The complaint came after Biden’s team had illegally amended the name of its campaign committee Sunday to “Harris for President.”
What happens to the $240M Biden raised for reelection,
when he was selected in the primary by 14 million voters?
<><>It’s a complicated FEC issue.
<><>Biden’s reelection efforts raised a total of $240 million at the end of June 2024.
<><>Those funds are split across the DNC, allied committees and Biden’s campaign committee, itself.
<><>The Biden campaign committee, alone, holds $95.9 million as of the end of last month.
<><>Biden has now transferred $91 million to Kamala
<><>The FEC chair intimated that Harris might not actually be eligible to access the funds.
<><>He pointed to this regulation: 11 C.F.R. § 110.1(b)(3): “If the candidate is not a candidate in the general election, all contributions made for the general election shall be either returned or refunded to the contributors or redesignated ..., or reattributed ..., as appropriate.”
Dems Seem Nervous About Kamala Maybe Losing Her $100M War Chest
Biden/Harris illegally altered an official document submitted to a federal agency
By Katie Pavlich, July 24, 2024, townhall.com
Within hours of President Joe Biden announcing he was suspending his 2024 campaign for the White House, which he did through a letter posted on X, his campaign quickly moved to change from the “Biden for President” to the “Harris for President” on official Federal Election Commission forms. They did this so Harris can access nearly $100 million in already raised campaign funds.
But according to FEC Commissioner Sean Cooksey, a transfer of funds to Harris isn’t that simple. Election law attorney Charlie Spies agrees. The Trump campaign filed a complaint with the FEC Monday over the move, which could force the commission to at least consider whether the change is in compliance with the law and make a ruling.
“Kamala Harris is in the process of committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history and she is using the Commission’s own forms to do it,” the complaint states. “The Commission must not and cannot sit idly by while one candidate takes nearly one hundred million dollars from the authorized committee of another, in violation of the Act and the will of the donors who gave the money in the first place.”
“If Kamala Harris were a candidate for something in 2024, federal law requires her to have filed a Statement of Candidacy and for her name to have appeared in the name of her authorized committee. But Kamala Harris’s name does not appear in the name of her purported authorized committee, ‘Biden for President,’ and, until Sunday, no Statement of Candidacy existed for her. Then Sunday, rather than filing her own Statement of Candidacy, she merely altered Joe Biden’s to replace his name with hers. There is no mechanism under the Act for one individual to end another’s federal candidacy by simply amending the other’s Form 2.
Moreover, in that purported amended Form 2 Harris designated ‘Biden for President’ as her principal campaign committee and then renamed it. Altering a document submitted to a federal agency is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1519.3,” it continues, arguing the transfer is, “a brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended.”
In the meantime, Democrats seem very nervous about Cooksey’s skepticism and are doing their best to intimidate the FEC into silence.
Circa 2019-—You owe them an apology’: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard takes aim at Sen. Kamala Harris’ record as a prosecutor during 2020 Democratic debate; Gabbard said “there’s no excuse” for Harris’ abysmal record as a prosecutor.

Democratic Presidential Debate: Moments that mattered from night 2. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tulsi Gabbard, Corey Booker and six other presidential hopefuls sparred.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard didn’t hold back when she took aim at Sen. Kamala Harris, saying “there is no excuse” for her record as a prosecutor and she owed those “who suffered under [her] reign as prosecutor” an apology.
Gabbard, D-Hawaii, was speaking about the country’s criminal justice system at Wednesday night’s Democratic debate when she brought Harris’ history into question. Gabbard said that while Harris, D-Calif., is proud of her record, she is “deeply concerned.”
Democratic debates 2019 Live Updates: Biden, Booker bump heads on criminal justice). “There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence, she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so,” Gabbard said.
”She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California, and she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way,” Gabbard said.
Harris responded that she significantly reformed the criminal justice system in California and she was proud of her work.
“And I am proud of making a decision to not just give fancy speeches or be in a legislative body and give speeches on the floor but doing the work of being in the position to use the power that I had to reform a system that is badly in need of reform,” she said.
But Gabbard wasn’t done. “The bottom line is Senator Harris when you were in a position to make a difference and an impact in these people’s lives, you did not and worse yet in the case of those who are on death row, innocent people, you actually blocked evidence from being revealed that would have freed them until you were forced to do so,” she said.
“There is no excuse for that and the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor, you owe them an apology,” Gabbard added. Harris served as the attorney general of California from 2011 to 2017.
