Joshua Kushner, a venture capitalist and the brother of senior White House adviser Jared Kushner, made a last-minute donation to Beto O’Rourke’s Democratic Senate campaign in Texas.
Joshua Kushner donated $2,600 to the then-El Paso congressman on Oct. 25, according to Open Secrets, as first reported by Axios.
O’Rourke is now vying to challenge President Trump, Jared Kushner’s boss and father-in-law, in the 2020 presidential election. O’Rourke launched his 2020 campaign last week, just months after falling short in his effort to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Joshua Kushner, the co-founder of Oscar Health, has donated to several Democratic lawmakers over the years, according to a database of his contributions from Open Secrets.
That database shows he made a $1,000 donation Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) in April 2000. Politico reported earlier this month that Kushner has also donated to Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.).
Booker launched a 2020 presidential campaign last month. Moulton is reportedly considering a run for the White House as well.
Jared Kushner and his wife, White House adviser Ivanka Trump, have also sent money to Booker. They each sent the New Jersey senator $10,400 in 2013, Politico reported.
Joshua Kushner is a lifelong Democrat, according to Esquire. He was spotted at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., just a day after Trump’s inauguration in 2017, according to The Washingtonian.
