The campaign also gave a $350,000 payment to Nu Vision Media on September 9, according to FEC filings first reported by the Times.
Nu Vision Media is a media company run by journalist Roland Martin. Martin spent roughly 30 minutes interviewing Harris on his streaming program in October.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign reportedly gave large amounts of money to organizations run by media figures in the weeks before sitting down for interviews with them.
FEC filings, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, show the Harris campaign gave two $250,000 donations to Rev. Al Sharpton’s nonprofit organization in September and October.
Harris sat down for a friendly interview with the MSNBC host on October 20, in which he asked her what she wanted her legacy to be, 50 years from now.
Sharpton wasn’t the only media ally that received a payment from the campaign to his organization ahead of their sit-down interview, a bombshell New York Times report revealed.

BILL MAHER TRIES TO EXPLAIN TO BAFFLED WILLIAM SHATNER WHY HARRIS LOST ELECTION

Actor William Shatner admitted to “Real Time” host Bill Maher that he didn’t understand why Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election, as the pair discussed what went wrong for the Democratic Party on Maher’s “Club Random” podcast on Sunday.
Maher opened his show suggesting the left’s “intolerance” to Democrats who don’t toe the party line on every issue cost them votes this election.
“Conservatives are much more tolerant of people they don’t like. It’s the liberals who are purists, especially the ones in this town. They are the ones who say if you don’t agree with me one million percent, I don’t even want to know you. That’s one of the reasons they lost. They have a bad attitude,” he told Shatner.
But Shatner admitted he was baffled by the election results. “I don’t know why Democrats lost. I don’t understand [it],” he said.

Maher argued that President Biden was partly to blame for staying in the race too long.
“That, I understand,” Shatner replied. “But inflation? Prices have come down, the economy is good. I don’t know why they voted against her, against the party,” he said.
Inflation and high costs of living consistently charted as top concerns for voters in polls leading up to the election.
The ‘Morning Joe’ duo have worried ever since Alyssa Farah Griffin testified during the January 6 hearings that Gaetz was heavily interested in the long-debunked rumor, according to Puck.
Griffin – a former White House communications director and now co-host of The View – claimed that Gaetz carried around a folder of ‘conspiracy theories about Joe Scarborough murdering his intern’ that he passed along to Trump.
Just a week before the election, Scarborough publicly admitted he was worried Trump wanted to bring the story about Klausutis’ death back into the news.
Trump has consistently implied there was more to the incident and that Scarborough had played a part in her death, a notion that has been debunked.
‘When Donald Trump decided to attack me because he didn’t like my COVID coverage and he lied about a woman who worked in my office and claimed that we were involved and that I had her killed,’ Scarborough began his rant.
‘And her husband, the widowed husband, begged him to stop lying because of the excruciating pain that it put her parents through and put him through – the fact that he had not been able to move on for 25 years because of the lies,’ he continued.
‘They could not find rest or peace. And Donald Trump didn’t care. He just kept doing it because he didn’t care what the family thought.
‘He didn’t care what the husband thought. He didn’t care [about] the people whose grief he was only making worse.’
