Which US corporate giants are donating to the presidential race?: Google, Microsoft, Walmart, Boeing...

The top donors contributing to the presidential race in the US for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris as of September 2024 have been disclosed by Quiver Quantitative.

The former president's top four donors are American Airlines ($134,174), Walmart ($83,908), Boeing ($82,761), and Lockheed Martin ($69,552). Harris's top four donors are Google ($1 million 464 thousand 292), Microsoft ($743 thousand 45), Brown & Brown ($324,568), and Johnson & Johnson ($239,394).

Harris's sudden entry into the presidential race has upended the fundraising competition with Trump and provided the Democrats with a significant advantage.

TRUMP $101 MILLION BEHIND

Forbes reported that as of the end of August 2024, the vice president had more than $100 million more in cash on hand than the former president. Between January 2023 and August 31, 2024, Biden's (now Harris's) campaign committee raised $678.2 million, while Trump's campaign committee raised $309.2 million. This is the most recent date for which Federal Election Commission filings are available. 

Harris closed out August with significantly more cash than Trump. Harris had $235.5 million compared to Trump's $134.6 million. In August alone, Harris's campaign raised $189.6 million, while Trump's campaign raised $44.5 million.

Official fundraising figures for September are not expected to be released until next month. However, Harris campaign spokesperson James Singer confirmed that $47 million was raised within 24 hours following her debate with Trump on September 10. This marked the largest single-day haul for the vice president since she entered the race.
