Social media messages on Simone Biles and Kamala Harris’ efforts have been making the rounds. According to rumors, the Olympic gymnast planned to donate up to $4 million to the Harris-Walz campaign.
Simone Biles’ political endorsements and donations are not publicly known, but considering the recent digs Biles appears to have made against Donald Trump, the claim may be accurate. Here’s an explanation of whether Simone Biles made a big gift to the Harris campaign in 2024.
Rumors that Simone Biles would donate $4 million to the Kamala Harris campaign are unfounded, despite multiple posts saying otherwise on X (previously Twitter) and TikTok.
According to an August 6 X post, a claimed Sports Illustrated insider has stated that Biles would “formally announce her donation of $4M to the #HarrisWalz campaign.” It goes on to add that this amount is intended to reflect $1 million for the four medals the gymnast earned at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This myth has also spread on other social media platforms, including TikTok.

Former President Trump shared a photo of Vice President Harris speaking at a communist event in Chicago ahead of the start of the Democratic National Convention.
The Republican nominee included it in a litany of personal and political attacks against Harris that he made during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
“After causing catastrophic inflation, Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls,” Trump said.
He also used this nickname for her in a fundraising pitch that his campaign sent out on Monday.
“Comrade Kamala and Dangerously Liberal Tim Walz will burn this country to the ground!” the email states, accusing them of supporting “SOVIET Style Price Controls.”
Trump’s comments refer to one pillar of Harris’s economic plan that she rolled out Friday. It targets price gouging, calling for the “first-ever federal ban” on the practice for food and groceries.
The proposal did not include much detail as to how it would happen but calls for rules that ensure companies can’t “unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive profits on food and groceries” and granting additional authority to the Federal Trade Commission and state officials to investigate and penalize corporations that break the rules.
The Hill has reached out to the Harris campaign for comment on Trump’s post.
