Donald and Ivanka Trump Donated to Kamala Harris' Bid for California Attorney General
President Donald Trump's campaign was quick to label Kamala Harris a "phony" lawmaker who has "gleefully embraced the left's radical manifesto" after she was unveiled Tuesday as Joe Biden's vice-presidential running mate.
But as recently as 2014, the Trump family made financial contributions to Harris, who is now a senator, when she was gunning to be California's attorney general.
Trump donated to Harris' attorney general campaigns in 2011 and 2014, for a total of $6,000, California state
records show. The first contribution was for $5,000 in September 2011 and the second was for $1,000 in February 2013.
Ivanka Trump, the president's oldest daughter and a White House senior advisor, donated $2,000 to Harris in June 2014.
Both Ivanka and Trump were private citizens when they contributed.
But any warm feelings that the two once held for California's first Black female attorney general have since subsided. Although Trump recently offered lukewarm praise for the idea of Biden choosing her as a running mate and declined searing criticism, he and his campaign did not hold back Tuesday.
