Silicon Valley is witnessing a notable shift in political support, with increasing backing for former President Donald Trump and Republican candidates like JD Vance. Traditionally a Democratic stronghold, the tech hub is seeing more venture capitalists and investors aligning with conservative figures. Bradley Tusk, Co-Founder and CEO of Tusk Venture Partners, highlighted this trend, noting that many investors are now voting with their dollars. This shift was evident at the recent Republican National Convention (RNC) this week, where several prominent tech figures, including David Sacks, Shervin Pishevar, and Ken Howery, were present. The change in sentiment is also reflected in employee donation patterns, with 80% of donations at internet companies going to Democrats in 2024, down from 90% in 2020. Additionally, Silicon Valley’s Democrats have lost their voice on Trump, further indicating the shift in political dynamics.
