In 2020, Trump's senior advisor Katrina Pierson told PBS NewsHour's Yamiche Alcindor that the president had "donated to candidates across all aisles" and that she hoped his donation to Harris, as a Black woman, could "squash this racism argument now."
Trump's history of donating to Harris — and other Democratic candidates — first resurfaced in 2020 after Biden tapped Harris to be his running mate.
On Sunday, following mounting pressure from Democratic politicians and donors , Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee.
"I am honored to have the president's endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination," she said in a statement.
Trump released a statement on Truth Social on Sunday calling Harris "just as much of a joke as Biden is" and criticizing what he called her "liberal, weak-on-crime record" in California.
An earlier version of this story was published in August 2020.
