Silicon Valley Rally: Tech Workers Back Harries Over Trump in Election Donations

Workers at major U.S. tech companies like Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft are predominantly donating to Democratic candidate Kamala Harris over Republican rival Donald Trump in the presidential race. Despite strong backing from tech billionaires for Trump, employee donations reveal a clear leaning towards Harris, highlighting a political divide in Silicon Valley.

Workers at several leading U.S. tech companies are showing strong support for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, according to donation data. Despite some top tech billionaires backing Republican rival Donald Trump, employee contributions significantly favor Harris.

Data compiled by political watchdog OpenSecrets reveals that employees from companies such as Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft are donating millions to Harris' campaign. Tech executives like Elon Musk and venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, however, support Trump due to his economic policies.

The upcoming presidential election has created a stark political divide in Silicon Valley. While some tech leaders bristle at Democratic economic policies, many employees continue to support Harris, driven by her stance on abortion rights and pro-tech policies.
