Bill Gates Privately Says He Has Backed Harris With $50 Million Donation

After decades of sitting on the sidelines of politics, Bill Gates, one of the richest people in the world, has said privately that he recently donated about $50 million to a nonprofit organization that is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential run, according to three people briefed on the matter.

The donation was meant to stay under wraps. Mr. Gates, one of the founders of Microsoft, has not publicly endorsed Ms. Harris, and his donation would represent a significant change in the strategy that has previously kept him away from gifts like this.

In private calls this year to friends and others, Mr. Gates has expressed concern about what a second Donald Trump presidency would look like, according to a person briefed on Mr. Gates’s thinking, although he has stressed that he could work with either candidate. Mr. Gates does not have a deep relationship with Ms. Harris, but he has celebrated the Biden-Harris administration’s work on climate change. Mr. Gates’s philanthropic organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is significantly concerned about potential cuts to family planning and global health programs if Mr. Trump is elected, according to two people close to the foundation.

Mr. Gates has said he made his donation to Future Forward, the main outside fund-raising group supporting Ms. Harris, according to the people briefed on the matter. Mr. Gates has talked about his pro-Harris donation with his peers, including Mike Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and a major supporter of Future Forward who has considered a similarly sized gift, two of the people briefed said. Mr. Gates’s donation went specifically to Future Forward’s nonprofit arm, Future Forward USA Action, which as a 501(c)(4) “dark money” organization does not disclose its donors, according to the people briefed. So any contribution by Mr. Gates will...

When did we start allowing 50-million-dollar individual donations to politicians?

Bill GATES is as EVIL AS SOROS!!


Amen, isn’t it hypocrisy extraordinaire how the Commies rail that it is illegal for Elon’s 1M a day gift to randomly select one individual each day until election day in one of the 7 battleground states who pledges to publically support the 1st and 2nd Amendments; yet without missing a beat they will gladly scoop up multiple millions of dollars from their rich donor class who promote the destruction of America. It’s a close call between Gates and Soros as to who is the most evil, but Gates has moved to the top of my list with his genocidal wicked attack on world humanity with his toxic injections.

May he donate untold millions more, right before the Harris campaign experiences the blue screen of death.

Well, there are some people who reported that they were offered 15K (a tik tok influencer) if they endorsed Harris & encouraged others to vote for her. Also, many of her rally attendees are paid.

What is Bill Gates HIDING? He just donated $50 Million to keep it quiet | Redacted w Clayton Morris

What would Bill Gates get for his $50 million donation to the Kamala Harris campaign? A lot probably! The Epstein list buried, the biopharmaceutical payoff, the ability to keep perverting the food chain. I’d say $50M is cheap for that if Harris wins!
