Older But Suddenly Relevant: A Clarifying Note on the 'Party of Billionaires'

With less than a week to go before the US election, at least 100 billionaires have backed either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, according to analysis by Forbes. While most of the country's estimated 813 billionaires have opted to "watch from the sidelines", 83 have publicly endorsed the vice president and 52 the former president.
