Kamala Harris' business allies are initiating a fundraising blitz for Joe Biden's campaign for president in the wake of her joining the ticket.

Alicia Goldstein, a senior managing director at real estate investment firm HFZ Capital Group, and Deborah Harmon, the chief executive officer of Artemis Real Estate Partners, are helping organize a virtual event on Friday featuring Harris, the people said. Tickets start at $1,000 and go up to $200,000, with the virtual gathering expected to reel in millions, the people added.

"I don't spend every day thinking about whether the business leaders I work with are Democrats or Republicans, but I do think about how we widen the circle of opportunity for those typically underrepresented in the real estate industry, specifically women and people of color," Harmon said in statement on Sunday.

Brad Karp, the chairman of lawfirm Paul, Weiss, is likely to host a few events over the course of the next month, another person added. Karp has represented Citigroup, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo, according to the firm's website.Marc Lasry, the longtime CEO of investment firm Avenue Capital, could host a Biden-Harris event in October, another person noted.

Biden's selection of Harris has already had an impact on fundraising up and down the ballot. Over its latter two days, the Democratic National Convention raised at least $40 million for Democrats running for office,Biden's campaign later announced that they, along with their joint fundraising committees, raised $70 million over the course of the convention week. That comes after raising $48 million immediately following the Harris announcement.

During a 2020 Democrat primary debate, Kamala Harris called out Joe Biden and questioned him regarding his ties to segregationist lawmakers and his lack of support for public school busing to desegregate schools in the 1970’s; insinuating Biden was a racist

These are the same people who abandoned her primary campaign last year.

She always was the billionaires favorite--even Trump and Mnuchin donated to Harris.

Wall St, Big Business, Big Tech, and the Billionaires are overjoyed.

God Save the USA and the rest of the world from these people.

Waste of money. They lost. 3rd time for JoeBiden

Biden says: “Shut the Country down, Raise Taxes”. This WILL DESTROY the Country! Shutting down now is WRONG; EVERYTHING SHOULD BE DONE TO CREATE VACCINE! Raising taxes will KILL THE US ECONOMY & export “intelligence & manufacturing”! BIDEN WILL REVERSE ALL Trump DID!

Biden and Harris will raise taxes by $4T. Biden's History: -5,600 jobs lost at the Delaware Chrysler plant. -4.5 million manufacturing jobs lost after pushing NAFTA. -Obama’s lead man for China. -Biden gave Hunter a ride on the big shiny airplane to China 5 times.

TARA READE says he fingered her!!!! why doesnt KamalaHarris beleive her hypocrite!!!!!

All the top left scum of America getting together to use their hedge fund and blm money on cool Biden commercials ehh?

Democratic/Socialist Hard at work in what Michelle Obama called a PEACEFUL PROTEST! The Racist Party Called Black Lives Matter are Funded By Soros/Clinton/Democratic Party & The Avatar Called Joe Biden has no clue on what is going on! Hillary Clinton is pulling his strings!

Not one business should support her.

AKA Corporations love Kamala. How progressive! How is it that the left is basically the party of huge mega global corporations now? And they are pro war too! Obama ruined the left. Sad story.

The wealthy and elites love JoeBiden campaign - too bad the working people of the country know they are frauds.

Kammie wants to eliminate private insurance and institute the green new deal. Bad for business

Prison Companies have lots of money to spend!
