Philanthropist Melinda French Gates has given Democratic incumbent Joe Biden her first ever presidential endorsement, citing his support for reproductive rights among other issues.
Gates this year left the charitable foundation she co-founded with her former husband, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, with $12.5 billion for her own charity work.
She said the contrast between Biden and former President Donald Trump, his Republican rival in the Nov. 5 election, “couldn’t be greater, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.”
Women deserve a leader who cares about the issues they face and is committed to protecting their safety, their health, their economic power, their reproductive rights, and their ability to freely and fully participate in a functioning democracy,” she wrote on social media platform X on Thursday.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated about $1.8 million in the 2020 election, most of it to Democrats.
In a CNN opinion piece on Thursday, Gates elaborated further, saying Trump’s first term in office endangered the health of women, their safety and freedom.
“And he deliberately appointed Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade, which resulted in a decision with far-reaching and catastrophic consequences for women and families,” her CNN piece added.

Meanwhile, the billionaire Winklevoss twins, founders of cryptocurrency company Gemini, said on Thursday they had each donated $1 million in bitcoin to support Trump, the latest crypto executives to get behind the Republican presidential candidate.
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, whose crypto firm in February entered settlement agreements with US and New York state financial regulators after accusations of wrongdoing, announced the donations in posts on X.
They did not specify where the donations were sent.
Tyler Winklevoss posted that Biden’s Democratic administration had “openly declared war on crypto” and that Trump was “pro-Bitcoin, pro-crypto, and pro-business.”

Melinda Gates SHOULD be EXCOMMUNICATED from The Catholic Church!!! But she won’t be because of her MONEY....PATHETIC!
If you watch the social network those two where really the brains behind Facebook despite Zuck getting all the credit
No, but it says a lot about the idiot Gates
Frank SHOULD be EXCOMMUNICATED from The Catholic Church!!! But he won’t be because he is the anti-Pope!
She simply is the female version of her former husband Bill.
Those eyebrows!!!!
She’s been ‘Rat grabbed by her checkbook?
The billionaire twins, who clashed with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg over ownership of the social network, now run Winklevoss Capital Management and are large investors in Bitcoin. Both said they donated the equivalent of $1 million of the cryptocurrency to the presumptive Republican nominee — which would exceed the maximum $844,600 that the Trump committee can legally accept per person.
My bet is the Dems have a blackmail film of Bill Gates (Epstein Island)....So now he’s got to do as he’s told.
Money don’t buy smarts.
“And if Biden ends up destroying the middle class, eh, who cares?” Melinda Gates added.
If Biden cares about anything in his state of dementia, it is money and the power that brings him more of the same.
The last thing that the Lech in Chief cares about is women’s issues.
AMEN!!
RE Melinda.
For some reason hordes of people wonder about the possible opinions of pop singers, movie stars and foreign royalty especially in England.
If you think about it, what possible advantage of wisdom and training or education do any of them have over someone at random waiting for the bus at the bus stop? Or hauling a bag to collect returnable cans and bottles in the alley?
Sorry if that insults the rock stars especially.
(not to mention a Bruce Jenner look)
"...it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person..." ...you know, the thing...
“If you think about it, what possible advantage of wisdom and training or education do any of them have over someone at random waiting for the bus at the bus stop?”
They have been taught and believe things that are not true?
Wow, her chief accomplishment in life is marrying someone who turned out to be a scumbag and getting half the money she did nothing to earn. Maybe Heidi Fleiss would be a more credible endorsement.
Does this DEI woman think she is respected or something?
