Lawyers Stand Behind Kamala Harris When It Comes To Lining Her Campaign Coffers With Cash
Lawyers strongly favor Kamala Harris in the presidential race -- and it's obvious from the millions upon millions of dollars she's received from them.

The election is about two weeks away, and lawyers are opening their wallets wide for Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate. In fact, lawyers gave more to Harris in the first 10 days of her campaign than to Trump in almost two years. It’s clear who lawyers favor in this political race.
Continuing to stand firmly with their fellow attorney, members of the legal profession added more than $27 million to Kamala’s campaign coffers over the course of the past two months, between August and the end of September. Many of Biglaw’s best are leading the pack when it comes to their contributions. Bloomberg Law has the details:
Luxury, Lies, And A $10 Million Embezzlement
Harris’ PAC, dubbed the Harris Victory Fund, received $250,000 from Cravath’s presiding partner Faiza Saeed and another $250,000 from Sullivan & Cromwell senior chair Rodge Cohen in that timeframe. Paul Weiss chairman Brad Karp gave $25,000 in September to the Harris Victory Fund.
Congratulations to Kamala Harris on the massive cash haul from attorneys. But what about her opponent, Donald Trump?
As noted by Bloomberg, while a few Biglaw partners and in-house attorneys quietly donated funds to the former president this past spring and summer, according to FEC records, between August and the end of September, Trump’s PAC, the Trump 47 Committee, received zero contributions from self-identified lawyers or attorneys.
Kamala Harris may be the winner when it comes to accumulating campaign cash from attorneys, but will she be the winner where it counts the most, at the polls? Stay tuned.
