Presidential elections are to be held in America early next month. The elections have reached an interesting turn with the entry of two billionaires in the last days. On one hand, Donald Trump is being supported by veteran billionaire Elon Musk. At the same time, now Microsoft founder Bill Gates and JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon have given their support and financial strength to Kamala Harris.
In a statement, Gates explained his decision to endorse Harris and take on Trump, saying, 'I have a long history of working with leaders across the political spectrum, but this election is different, which will have an impact on Americans and Of extraordinary importance to the world's most vulnerable people.'
Bill Gates has donated $50 million to Future Forward USA Action, a non-profit organization supporting Kamala Harris' presidential campaign.
Jamie Dimon's support for Harris was shocking
Jamie Dimon's support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is also surprising, as he recently justified Trump on some economic issues like tax cuts. However, Trump misrepresented his endorsement, after which Jamie Dimon clarified that he was not endorsing anyone. Through a spokesperson, Dimon said in his clarification, 'I am not endorsing anyone at this time. I am spending more of my time on policy. Because what policy do we need that can actually help the world, both in foreign policy and domestically?'
According to media reports, Jamie Dimon has privately told his friends that he supports Kamala Harris.
Gates' children encouraged to invest money in Harris campaign
According to media reports, Gates is believed to have been encouraged by his children, Rory and Phoebe Gates, to put money into the Harris campaign. They are both outspoken Democrat supporters. Bill Gates' ex-wife Melinda French Gates has also contributed to Harris' campaign, who has raised a whopping $1 billion since becoming the Democratic nominee, far more than Trump has raised.
Additionally, other billionaires who have supported Kamala Harris include Steve Jobs' wife Laurene Powell Jobs, Steven Spielberg, Reed Hastings, and Michael Moritz.
