Bill Gates and the 50 million donation to Kamala Harris, that’s why

Bill Gates, one of the richest people in the world, said privately that he recently donated around $50 million to a non-profit organization supporting the presidential run of US Vice President Kamala Harris, we read in the New York Times.

The donation had to remain secret. Gates, a founder of Microsoft, has not publicly endorsed Harris and his donation would represent a significant shift in the strategy that has kept him away from ‘gifts’ like this in the past. Gates would have expressed concern about a possible second presidency of Donald Trump.

“I support candidates who demonstrate a clear commitment to improving health care, reducing poverty and fighting climate change in the United States and around the world,” he told the New York Times. “This election is different, with unprecedented significance for Americans and the most vulnerable people around the world,” he added.
