Did Netflix Really Hand Kamala Harris $7 Million?

Published

on

It all started with a social media post that sparked confusion and speculation. The claim was bold: Netflix had reportedly donated a whopping $7 million to Kamala Harris’ campaign.

But was it true?

The buzz grew louder as the story spread, leaving many wondering how deep Netflix’s political involvement ran. Could a company that entertains millions really throw such enormous financial support behind a candidate?

The truth, however, turned out to be much more personal—and surprising.

After diving deep into the investigation, we uncovered a twist. It wasn’t Netflix itself that made the donation. The answer came from Reed Hastings, Netflix’s co-founder and executive chairman. He confessed during an interview with The Information: after watching a particularly disheartening debate, he felt compelled to act. “After the depressing debate,” Hastings admitted, “we are in the game again.” And with that, he made his largest personal contribution ever—$7 million.

But here’s the catch: this was not Netflix’s doing! It was Hastings’ personal endorsement. Reputable media outlets quickly clarified the distinction: Netflix, the company, had no hand in the donation. It was purely Hastings’ decision.

The conclusion?
The viral claim that Netflix itself funneled $7 million into Kamala Harris’ campaign is completely false. Instead, it was Reed Hastings, acting on his own, who made the generous contribution to her 2024 run.

The lines between corporate and personal blurred for a moment, but the facts set the story straight.
