Dustin Moskovitz gave $30 million to Kamala Harris’ campaign. Reed Hastings donated nearly $7 million. And Ben Horowitz gave $2.5 million to a super PAC that supports the Democratic candidate, just three months after he said he would back Donald Trump.
The latest data from the Federal Election Commission show that Harris’ efforts to re-engage with the tech industry have paid off — literally — by encouraging new donations and stemming Silicon Valley’s pro-Trump shift. It’s helping to bolster her already substantial war chest heading into the critical final days of an election campaign where she’s been outraising and outspending Trump by more than two to one.
