Also I've seen her in a lot of ads for the Olympics in the past several years. I guess NBC makes most of those ads, and she gets paid every time they're on the air. But the big money comes from Nike and other product endorsements.

Thank you Simone Biles!

I'd like to see independent verification of this before getting too excited. TwilightZone Aug 2024 #5

As in my reply below, this is presumptive at best Attilatheblond Aug 2024 #14

Agreed. TwilightZone Aug 2024 #18

Saying 'will formally announce' is a bit presumptive. Attilatheblond Aug 2024 #12

Hope she's at the convention SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #13

Until I see official confirmation I am going to call this a rumour. Celerity Aug 2024 #23

I suspect it's less a rumor... TwilightZone Aug 2024 #25

Simone is a great lady 😁 TommieMommy Aug 2024 #26

She can't donate that much to the campaign. She'd have to donate to a Super PAC, etc. TwilightZone Aug 2024 #27

I thought there was a $5000 limit. Mosby Aug 2024 #28

$3,300 limit to the candidate committee. TwilightZone Aug 2024 #30

👍 Mosby Aug 2024 #32
