Bill Gates has reportedly donated $50 million to Future Forward, a nonprofit organization supporting Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential run, according to the New York Times. This marks the first time Gates has significantly weighed into a presidential election after decades of sitting on the sidelines of politics. The donation was originally intended to remain a 'dark money' contribution, but Gates has reportedly stated that he decided to get involved because 'this election is different'. Gates's substantial financial backing represents a significant boost for Harris as she seeks the presidency.
