        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Media moguls and tech executives powered a spring fundraising blitz for one of Joe Biden&#8217;s campaign committees.</p><p>The Biden Victory Fund — which supports the former vice president&#8217;s presidential bid along with the Democratic National Committee and 26 state parties — raked in $86.4 million from April through June thanks largely to giant gifts from big-name donors, <strong>according to Bloomberg News</strong>.</p><p>They included $617,800 from <strong>Quibi founder Jeffrey Katzenberg</strong> and more than $500,000 from Meg Whitman, the short-form streaming service&#8217;s CEO and onetime Republican candidate for California governor, federal records show. Disney executive chairman Bob Iger gave the fund $250,000, records show.</p><p>The fund recorded maximum donations of $620,600 from ten people including at least three tech honchos, according to Bloomberg: Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovits, Zynga co-founder Mark Pincus and Twilio co-founder Jeff Lawson.</p><p>Barry Diller, the billionaire media tycoon and IAC chairman, also maxed out with two separate donations on June 24, records show.</p><p>In all, more than 60 percent of the Biden fund&#8217;s haul came from 400 people who gave at least $50,000, Bloomberg reported. But it still lagged behind the $152.2 million raised by two operations backing President Trump&#8217;s campaign and the Republican National Committee, according to the news service.</p><p> <noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/biden-fund-tech-02.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/biden-fund-tech-02.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/biden-fund-tech-02.jpg" /></p><p> Meg Whitman and Jeffrey Katzenberg</p><p class="credit">AP</p><p> <noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/biden-fund-tech-03.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/biden-fund-tech-03.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/biden-fund-tech-03.jpg" /></p><p> Barry Diller, Chairman and Senior Executive of IAC/InterActiveCorp and Expedia, Inc.</p><p class="credit">REUTERS/Mike Blake</p><p>Big-name contributions to Trump&#8217;s re-election bid included $355,000 from New York Knicks owner James Dolan and $360,600 from Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus, according to Bloomberg.</p>]]></content:encoded>
