In a surprising revelation, it has come to light that former President Donald J. Trump had donated a total of $6,000 to Kamala Harris's campaigns for statewide office in California. This information has resurfaced amidst the recent political standoff between the two prominent figures.

Donald J. Trump's initial donation of $5,000 was made in 2011 when Harris, a center-left prosecutor from San Francisco, was starting her career in statewide politics, aiming to become California's attorney general. A subsequent contribution of $1,000 was made by Trump in 2014. Interestingly, Ivanka Trump, the former president's daughter, also contributed $2,000 to Harris's campaign during the same year.

These campaign donations from the Trump family were revealed through records initially reported by the Sacramento Bee. It is worth noting that Harris has been a magnet for Democratic donors due to her political stance shaped by California's tough-on-crime 1990s and the progressive politics of the Bay Area.

Ms. Harris made headlines when she raised an astounding $50 million within 24 hours of announcing her candidacy for the 2024 presidential race. This massive financial support showcased the overwhelming enthusiasm of Democrats towards her campaign.

However, it is important to highlight that Trump's donations to Harris's campaigns took place at a time when he was facing a class-action lawsuit related to Trump University, which was accused of defrauding its students. Notably, Harris's office did not take any action against Trump University, and officials working for her stated that the campaign donations were unrelated to the lack of action.

Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump's campaign officials have yet to respond to requests for comment regarding these donations and their implications.

This surprising revelation adds yet another twist to the political saga between Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris and raises questions about the dynamics between politicians and their campaign contributions. As the story develops, it will be interesting to see if these past donations will have any impact on the ongoing political landscape.
