Former President Donald Trump at one time was fond enough of now-Vice President Kamala Harris to donate twice to her campaign.
When Harris was running for reelection as attorney general of California, Trump donated $5,000 to her campaign in 2011 and another $1,000 to her campaign in 2013. Harris ultimately won reelection and served as California’s attorney general from 2011 to 2018.
In 2009, Trump also donated $2,500 to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) 2010 campaign for governor. At the time, Newsom was newly divorced from Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is now engaged to Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr.
The older Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, also donated $2,000 to Harris’s campaign in 2014.
The former president’s past donations are cropping up again as President Joe Biden announced he would not be seeking reelection this year and endorsed Harris for president. It is now expected that Trump will face Harris as the Democratic nominee in November.

In less than 24 hours since Biden announced his decision to step down, Harris’s campaign announced that “everyday Americans have given $49.6 million in grassroots donations to her campaign.”
Harris is backed by a number of high-profile Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
The Washington Examiner reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.
