America’s most powerful industry, the technology sector, is gearing up for the upcoming presidential election with Vice President Kamala Harris emerging as a candidate from its home base in the Bay Area.
Notable tech leaders have already expressed their support for Harris through endorsements and financial contributions. Prominent figures such as Sheryl Sandberg, the longtime Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, Reed Hastings, the Co-Founder of Netflix, and philanthropist Melinda French Gates have all thrown their weight behind Harris.

This wave of support for Harris stands in contrast to the smaller but vocal group of tech industry figures, predominantly men, who have backed former President Donald Trump's political endeavors, including notable names like Elon Musk.
The backing of Harris within the tech community indicates a strong belief in her policies and a positive relationship she has cultivated with many top executives in Silicon Valley. This support positions Harris as a leading choice for the White House among tech leaders.
