Son of a repug megadonor makes big donation to Biden campaign [View all]

Quotes from the article:

David Ellison, the son of Republican megadonor Larry Ellison, gave $929,600 to back the reelection efforts of President Joe Biden, putting him among the top recent donors to the incumbent Democrat.

David Ellison’s donation comes as his father, Larry Ellison, the chairman of Oracle, has kept his wallet firmly shut this election cycle.

Larry Ellison, who historically has been a major Republican donor, has not made a single federal political donation so far in 2024, records show.
