President Trump and his eldest daughter Ivanka Trump both donated to Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., a few years ago when she was campaigning for California attorney general.
In 2011 and 2013, then-businessman Trump donated $6,000 to Harris’s campaign and Ivanka Trump donated $2,000 in 2014, the Sacramento Bee reported Monday.
Trump’s first donation was in September 2011, just a few months after he started promoting birther conspiracy theories that said then-President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S.
A Harris campaign spokesperson said that Harris donated the $6,000 from Trump in 2015, when she was launching her Senate campaign, to a non-profit advocating for civil and human rights for Central Americans.
Harris became attorney general in California in 2010 and won re-election in 2014. In 2016, she was elected to the Senate, and she announced last month that she would be seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2020.
Even though Trump was initially a supporter of Harris, the relationship between the two has soured since Trump launched his presidential campaign in 2015.
Last week, Harris told The Root that she couldn’t “reach any other conclusion,” when asked if she believed Trump is racist.
