Big-dollar donors, including Donald Trump, fueled Kamala Harris' political rise in California

Earlier this decade, however, the two weren't on such combative terms. In 2011 and again in 2013, Trump donated a total of $6,000 to Harris' campaign for California attorney general. His daughter Ivanka also gave Harris $2,000 in 2014.
