ELEIÇÕES NOS EUA

Donativos eleitorais disparam nos EUA

By Phil Bainbridge

September 3, 2024 - As campanhas de Kamala Harris e Donald Trump recolheram até agora
mais de $1.300 milhões, e nos dois últimos meses da campanha – quando são feitos os maiores donativos – deverão disparar.

The Harris campaign raised almost $500 million, 42% of it from small donors giving under $200, dwarfing the Trump campaign’s $264 million. However, the Trump campaign has the backing of over $310 million from donors to super PACS - Political Action Committees - unrestricted by the Federal Election Commission’s $6,600 per person limit to direct campaigns, but which are not allowed to co-ordinate directly with the candidate. Harris’ super-PACs have raised around $258 million.

The biggest donors to these PACs are expected to include Timothy Mellon, reclusive heir to the $14.1bn Mellon family fortune, who supplies over 50% of the funding for the MAGA Inc super PAC, Tesla boss Elon Musk who has said he will spend $45 million per month on his own conservative America PAC. On the Democrat side, Mike Bloomberg is traditionally a major funder but tends to donate late in the campaign - he has so far given $27 million to pro-Democrat PACs - and Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder.
