These billionaires and business leaders are backing Kamala Harris

Hoffman is reportedly planning to host or cohost a fundraiser for Harris as soon as September.

LinkedIn cofounder and PayPal mafia member Reid Hoffman has joined the ranks of pro-Harris business execs.

In a post on X, he said: “The Biden-Harris administration has put this country on the right track. It’s time for us to unite. I wholeheartedly support Kamala Harris and her candidacy for President of the United States in our fight for democracy in November.”

Hoffman is also planning to host or cohost a fundraiser for Harris, “as soon as September,” The Information reported, citing a person close to him.

He was also a chair of the Sunday fundraising event for Harris in San Francisco, NYT reported.

Barack and Michelle Obama

Media mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg has publicly endorsed Harris.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, former president of Walt Disney Studios, was also seen at Sunday’s San Francisco fundraiser. The media executive, who was a national cochair for Biden’s campaign, praised Biden for his “selfless” decision to resign from the presidential race and endorsed Harris in an op-ed in The New York Times.

“Again and again, she has been underestimated,” Katzenberg wrote. “Again and again, she has triumphed.”

“The vice president has won almost every election she’s ever competed in. She has spent an entire lifetime winning,” he added. “I couldn’t be more confident that this November will be no different.”

Steve Spinner

Angel investor Steve Spinner, who also previously was a fundraiser for former President Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008, also endorsed Harris along with over 350 other former national security leaders in an open letter.

During Harris’ Sunday fundraiser, Spinner said that the positive reception Harris received reminded him of Obama’s kickoff finance event in 2007, The New York Times reported.

“There was a lot of love in that room,” he reportedly said.
