According to The New York Times, Gates, who is typically withdrawn and secretive about his politics and has not made a public endorsement in the election, meant for the contribution to be kept out of the public eye, contributing the funds to a so-called "dark money" political nonprofit, Future Forward USA Action.
"In private calls this year to friends and others, Mr. Gates has expressed concern about what a second Donald Trump presidency would look like, according to a person briefed on Mr. Gates’s thinking, although he has stressed that he could work with either candidate," reported Theodore Schleifer. "Mr. Gates does not have a deep relationship with Ms. Harris, but he has celebrated the Biden-Harris administration’s work on climate change." Moreover, this comes as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation "is significantly concerned about potential cuts to family planning and global health programs if Mr. Trump is elected, according to two people close to the foundation."
