Big Tech Is Tilting Towards Trump

For decades, Democrats could count on having big tech backers in their back pockets. But this time around, there is a tilt towards Trump.

As civil rights attorney, and California RNC Committeewoman Harmeet Dhillon noted, it's a first.

"I've been in Silicon Valley practicing law since 2000, and this is the first election cycle where I can say that any appreciable number of tech leaders openly supported a Republican candidate for president."

It's truly a seismic shift in Silicon Valley.

"It's a huge shift to even see one do it, and now we are seeing dozens of people step forward" Dhillon told KTRH, "I couldn't be more happy about that, it's up to us Republicans to prove that we can take that confidence."

Donald Trump's VP pick JD Vance was at a Bay Area fundraiser on Monday. The bottom line is, after 4 brutal years of Bidenomics, going 'woke' means going broke.

"Policy now has become more important than figure head" said Christian Briggs, CEO of Hard Asset Management, "And Trump policy, it's about low taxes, low regulation, less government, economic growth, and that is really what people are starting to gravitate toward, rather than just all the social policy."

Many longtime Democrat supporters are now backing Trump.
