Donald Trump:

Understandably, Finance, Energy, and Real Estate are overrepresented in each list because they’re some of the most profitable industries. In particular, hedge funds show up everywhere, especially on Biden’s list. This might help to account for his recent fundraising lead over Trump. And it suggests that these funds think they will do better under a Biden Presidency. Hedge funds usually deal with other businesses rather than people, which is why so many of the names on this list might seem obscure.
*These lists only show company donations. No Union, PAC, or non-profit giving is included.
