More than 100 venture capitalists (VC) pledged in July to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, including a number of notable billionaires.
LinkedIn co-founder Reidhoffman, entrepreneur Mark Cuban, Lowercase Capital’s Chriss Sacca, and Khosla Ventures’s Vinod Khosla, all of whom are worth more than a billion dollars, signed the VCsforKamala.org group, according to Forbes. Other billionaires such as Melinda French Gates, Sheryl Sandberg, Reed Hastings, George Soros and Barry Diller have also signed on to support Harris’ presidential bid.
A number of other billionaires are reportedly voting for former President Donald Trump. These include entrepreneur Elon Musk and VC David Sacks. “Prominent venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz have both said they intend to donate to pro-Trump PACs, joining tech billionaires, including Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, crypto kingpins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and venture capitalists Antonio Gracias and Douglas Leone who have already given to support Trump’s campaign,” Forbes wrote, citing the Financial Times.(TAKE A POLL: Is the Government Doing Enough to Address Unemployment?)
Wall Street Joins Kamala Bandwagon
A huge number of high-profile Wall Street move-makers are backing Harris, suggesting they’re not particularly worried about his alleged history with fighting Wall Street for the people. “Perhaps her most relevant action in her four years in the Senate was her 2019 sponsorship of a “Accountability for Wall Street Executives Act” bill which would have allowed state prosecutors to subpoena bank records to investigate financial fraud,” Forbes wrote.

The Act essentially allowed state prosecutors even greater access into the privacy and freedoms of the American people, and did not harm Wall Street executives in any notable way.
