The donation by David Ellison backing President Joe Biden is a coup for allies of the incumbent Democrat, who will face Donald Trump in the November election.
Larry Ellison, who historically has been a
major Republican donor, has not made a
single federal political donation so far in
2024, records show. Ellison donated
more than $ 3 I million to GOP
candidates during the 2022
congressional midterms, according to
data from OpenSecrets.
I suspect the family is intentionally sending a message. Lbr, having the son of a proud republican donate to the most neoliberal candidate of 2020/4 isn’t going to be taboo among any of the wealth. Many may donate to “both” sides even. This isn’t a son snubbing his father, this is a wealthy family of influence that have the bare minimum of human decency to not pay to have chaos in the white house again.
You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. - Bryan Cantrill
