Donald Trump donated twice to Kamala Harris campaign, so did Ivanka

This is quite an interesting public records find from Anna Massoglia (@annalecta) of the nonprofit Open Secrets. Years ago, Kamala Harris once received a donation check for thousands of dollars from Donald Trump.

She writes:

Harris was announced as Joe Biden's running mate earlier today.
