When it comes to the presidential election, what once was like the Kentucky Derby has been turned into a Formula 1 style race. It’s all courtesy of billionaires who are pouring money onto the weighted scales of justice. But which side is favored by the ultra-wealthy? It turns out the Vice President and democratic nominee Kamala Harris is the favored candidate. Tracking the movements of the rich, Forbes found that 81 billionaires support Harris and some 51 back former president Donald Trump, as of publication.
Main Idea: More billionaires are publicly backing Kamala Harris than Donald Trump, even as Elon Musk remains one of Trump’s biggest high-profile supporters.
Key Points:
Billionaire donations can make elections feel tilted toward wealthy donors, which may leave ordinary voters doubting whether their voices matter.
Heavy backing for Harris from business leaders could help her raise money and compete, giving voters a clearer choice and more campaign outreach.
