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:
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.
