Silicon Valley Leaders Endorse Kamala Harris

Over 100 venture capitalists, including notable figures like Mark Cuban and Reid Hoffman, have publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election, countering the support Donald Trump has received from some Silicon Valley elites. The group, known as 'VCs for Kamala', emphasizes their commitment to democracy, entrepreneurship, and the necessity of strong institutions for economic success. This shift in support follows a period where many tech investors had aligned with Trump, particularly after Musk's endorsement post an assassination attempt on the former president. Harris’s candidacy has sparked renewed backing from prominent investors who previously hesitated, with some expressing optimism for a reset in relations between Silicon Valley and the Democratic Party. Key figures in the tech community, including Chris Sacca and several female philanthropists, have also pledged their support, highlighting a diverse coalition rallying behind Harris. The endorsement comes at a pivotal moment as Silicon Valley grapples with its political identity amid significant electoral pressures.
