The Harris-Walz campaign funneled some $500,000 to the Rev. Al Sharpton’s nonprofit, the National Action Network, prior to the vice president’s softball sit-down interview with the civil rights activist.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ team made two donations of $250,000 to Sharpton’s group on Sept. 5 and Oct. 1 respectively, according to Federal Election Commission records.
The cash flow came in the context of payments totaling $5.4 million to various black and Latino activist organizations as the campaign set its sights on galvanizing support among minority voters. The Washington Free Beacon first reported the donations.
Available campaign finance records are current through mid-October and do not yet reveal Harris’ team’s spending during the tail-end of the 2024 election cycle.
Harris, 60, sat down with Sharpton, 70, for an MSNBC interview that aired on Oct. 20, just shy of three weeks after the donations from her campaign to the National Action Network.
