Reed Hastings, co-founder of Netflix, donated seven million dollars to the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris, the current vice president of the United States, according to the American media The Information.
“After a depressing debate, we are in the game again,” the also executive chairman of the board of the streaming platform told the media, who also specified that this is the largest political donation that Hastings has made to a single candidate.
Hastings is one of the most powerful Democratic Party donors who pressured President Joe Biden to give up his candidacy for the next elections to be held in November.
“Biden must be set aside to allow a vigorous Democratic leader to defeat Trump and keep us safe and prosperous,” The New York Times told the American media earlier this month.
Biden withdrew from his candidacy for the White House on Sunday and supported Harris, after facing pressure from members of Congress and donors after the criticism aroused by his weak performance in the first debate against Donald Trump (2017-2021) that took place on June 27.
The latest polls on the United States elections show slightly better numbers for the vice president, although she would also, like Biden, lose the election to Trump.
These surveys were carried out before President Biden’s announcement this Sunday to resign from re-election, so asked by Harris, respondents responded to a hypothetical situation.
The most recent, YouGov’s poll for CBS News, gave Trump five points of advantage over Biden (52% to 47%) by only three over Harris (51% to 48%).
Another from NBC News gave the same two-point advantage for Trump (45% to 43% with Biden and 47% to 45% with Harris), while one from Fox News gave the same result of 49% to 48% in favor of the former president regardless of the rival.
The Marist poll for NPR and PBS was the only one that gave a majority to the Democratic ticket and, in this case, gave Biden a better advantage over Trump (50% to 48%), than Harris over Trump (50% to 49%).
Although the overall result is relevant, what is really important in the American elections are the key states, such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Georgia or Arizona.
A Siena survey for The New York Times, Harris got a better result than Biden in Pennsylvania and Virginia.
In Pennsylvania, Trump took three points to Biden (48% to 45%) and only one to Harris (48% to 47%), while in Virginia the vice president beat the Republican by five points (49% to 44%), two more than Biden (48% to 45%).
