Editor’s Note: This article was sent to us with the title, “Visualizing US Election Contributions by Corporate Employees.” After seeing that #1 on the list was News Corp and that 99% of donations went to Democrats, we changed the title to match the appropriate lede. Anyone who’s shocked by this hasn’t been paying enough attention.
(Zero Hedge)—Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in a tightly matched race, with political donations now leaning in the Democratic party’s favor.
Since President Joe Biden withdrew his nomination in July, a flood of donations have poured in to support Harris’s bid for the White House. The vice president erased Trump’s fundraising advantage in under a month, with 66% of contributions coming from first-time donors.
But what can we learn about political donations when looking at it from a corporate angle?
This graphic shows the top companies by employee election contributions in 2024, based on data from Quiver Quantitative.
The 10 Highest Corporate Employee Contributions
Here are the companies with the most political donations among employees so far this year:
As of August 8, 2024.
Employees at News Corp, the parent company to Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, have contributed overwhelmingly to the Democratic party, despite it being a conservative-leaning conglomerate.
Altogether, political donations stand at over $8.3 million, the highest in corporate America. The corporate entity itself has split donations evenly between both parties in recent years, allowing employees to contribute to political associations as they choose.
Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of private equity giant, Blackstone, is one of Donald Trump’s largest corporate backers. Like their CEO, Blackstone employees are throwing their weight behind the former president, likely due to Trump’s pro-business policies and proposed tax cuts.
Meanwhile, employees at big tech companies and other large financial firms are donating substantially to 2024 election campaigns. Netflix, Alphabet, and Microsoft employees heavily lean Democratic, while employees at Charles Schwab and First Bank favor Trump. Over the summer, former chief executive of Alphabet, Eric Schmidt, made a six-figure contribution to the Democrat campaign.
As we can see, software giant Palantir is the most evenly divided, with employees slightly favoring the Republican party. Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale is a major supporter of Donald Trump, contributing to Elon Musk’s America PAC, alongside the Winklevoss twins and other tech titans.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.

This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.
As a Christian company, Genesis Gold Group has maintained a perfect 5 out of 5 rating with the Better Business Bureau. Their faith-driven values allow them to help Americans protect their life’s savings without the gimmicks used by most precious metals companies.

Kamala Harris got 66% of donation from new donors? You lost me at hello.
“New donors” is code for fraud through ActBlue.
Of course they are hedonist. They went to where the money is in lieu of values. Basic good vs evil.
Matthew 7:21-23 esv
I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Fox puts a little different spin on their propaganda to squeeze advertising dollars from a different segment of the business community but otherwise it is just another three letter propaganda outlet along with ABC/CBS/CNN/NBC/PBS et al.
Every day is Election Day.
Every dollar is a vote.
You now see who is in which side.
You want a Civil War?
Use your money to defeat them. Not with donations.
But by doing business with companies that support the American Way.
Unfortunately no such companies exist.
News corp is fraudulent and their biased and Trump coverage shows it. Turn them off, use NewsMax or OANN, they are much better.
All the people crying about this as they continue to watch (fund) Fox News and Netflix while doing Google searches and shove a hot poker up their backside. It’s time to shut up and act. Cancel your cable, satellite, streaming services, Netflix, etc.
You are funding these people! Even if you don’t watch those monthly fees are going to them.
Most major companies are smart enough to know which party will give them the best kickbacks. This is actually just a buy-a-candidate type of thing.
Shalom goyim. Continue to work and pay your taxes.
Wow, that didn’t take long.Tucker’s been gone, What, a year?
Can you now understand the terrible biased Shaw polling of Fox???
