So, it turns out that before they were on opposing sides of the political ring, Donald Trump actually chipped in some cash to help out Kamala Harris. Back when she was just trying to keep her gig as California's top legal eagle, Trump donated to her re-election campaign.
Cash from the Donald and Ivanka
Between 2011 and 2013, Donald dropped a cool $6,000 into Harris's campaign fund. And get this, his daughter Ivanka even got in on the action, tossing in $2,000 in 2014. Talk about keeping it in the family… of political donations.
The Twitter Chatter
This little nugget of info started popping up on social media when Harris announced she wanted to be the main contender for the Dems. It's like everyone suddenly remembered, "Oh right, they were cool once."
The Donald's Side of the Story: 'I Donate to Everyone!'
This whole thing came up again in 2020 when Harris was running alongside Biden. USA TODAY did some digging and yep, it's true. They found out that Trump had donated $5,000 to her first run for attorney general in 2011 and another $1,000 in 2013 when she was trying to keep her job. And when asked about it, he basically said, "Hey, I give to everyone. It's what I do." So, it seems like back in the day, he had no beef with her.
This all went down when Harris was aiming to become the state's attorney general and then later when she was up for reelection. Who knew, right? Now, we're all sitting here, scrolling through Twitter, trying to process this odd political pairing.
