David Ellison, Son of GOP Mega Donor, Backs Biden with Record Donation

In a surprising political shift, David Ellison, son of prominent Republican donor Larry Ellison, contributes nearly $1 million to the Biden campaign, signaling a potential realignment in political affiliations.

Overview

  • David Ellison, CEO of Skydance Media and son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, donates $929,600 to the Biden Victory Fund.
  • This donation marks David Ellison's largest ever to a federal candidate and places him among the top donors of Q1 2024.
  • Larry Ellison, a historical GOP supporter, has not made any federal political contributions this election cycle.
  • The Biden Victory Fund, benefiting from Ellison's donation, raised over $121 million in Q1, nearly doubling the funds raised by pro-Trump entities.
  • Despite differing political donations, the Ellisons are collaborating on a major media deal involving Skydance Media and Paramount Pictures.
