“Now that we have a candidate, and it is not a Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, tech donors are ready to support the ticket. They were looking for someone who won’t break up Big Tech but do believe antitrust needs to happen.'
An audible collective sigh of relief from Silicon Valley came shortly after Kamala Harris was named running mate of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
“Now that we have a candidate, and it is not a Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, tech donors are ready to support the ticket. They were looking for someone who won’t break up Big Tech but do believe antitrust needs to happen,” Cooper Teboe, a Democratic fundraiser in Silicon Valley, told MarketWatch in a phone interview. “In her defense, Harris was chummy in her role as [California Attorney General] in a state where the industry is so influential.
Fundraisers for her presidential bid also included Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and former PayPal Holdings lnc. PYPL, +1.21% chief operating officer, and venture capital legend John Doerr. As a possible future vice president, he says, Harris will represent the interests of all Americans because the Biden-Harris ticket will “owe its election to the support of voters who were harmed by internet platforms.”
