AI Summary
Main Idea: President Joe Biden is winning back support from many Silicon Valley Democrats, even though some tech leaders remain unhappy with his record and are mainly backing him to stop Donald Trump.
Key Points:
- Biden visited Northern California to raise money and meet with wealthy tech donors and business allies.
- Some tech figures had wanted a different Democratic nominee, but many now see Biden as the only realistic choice.
- The tech industry still leans Democratic, with donations to Democrats far outpacing donations to Republicans this cycle.
- Vinod Khosla and other tech backers say democracy and fear of a second Trump term are driving their support.
