Olympic gymnastics sensation Simone Biles is once again in the spotlight, but this time, it’s not just for her record-breaking performances at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Social media is ablaze with speculation that the four-time gold medalist is set to make a substantial political contribution to the Harris-Walz presidential campaign, reportedly donating $4 million.
The rumor began circulating on X after a post suggested that Biles plans to announce her significant donation to the #HarrisWalz campaign soon.
The claim, which has garnered over 10,000 reposts, alleges that Biles’ donation is symbolic—$1 million for each of the four medals she secured in Paris.
The buzz around this potential contribution has stirred up a flurry of opinions online. While many are applauding Biles for potentially using her platform to support the Democratic ticket, others remain skeptical.
One X user commented:
“I haven’t seen any credible source that confirms Simone Biles donated $4M. This same ‘source’ said Beyoncé donated the same amount, too.”
Adding to the intrigue, rumors about Beyoncé’s involvement in the Harris-Walz campaign have also surfaced.
Reports from the Daily Mail claim that the superstar is clearing her schedule to attend a campaign fundraiser and has earmarked $4 million for the cause. However, like the Biles rumor, this has yet to be confirmed. What is certain, according to CNN, is that Beyoncé has granted permission for her hit song “Freedom” to be used in the Harris-Walz campaign.
In contrast, Filipino American pop star Olivia Rodrigo has officially endorsed Kamala Harris, particularly backing her stance on reproductive rights, marking a confirmed celebrity endorsement amid the swirling speculations.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, which has already seen a financial boost with a reported $310 million raised last month, has yet to confirm any involvement from Biles.
As of now, neither Biles nor her representatives have commented on the rumored donation.
The gymnast, known for her philanthropy and advocacy, has remained silent on the matter, leaving fans and followers to wonder if this generous political gesture will indeed become a reality.
