New York CNN —With Vice President Kamala Harris the front runner to receive the Democratic Party’s nomination for president, America’s most powerful industry is set to have a candidate on the ballot from its home turf.
Harris’ failed 2020 presidential bid received support from various tech luminaries, including Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and legendary venture capitalist Ron Conway.
Despite her friendly relationships with the industry’s leaders, Harris has also pushed for tech accountability in key areas.
As vice president, Harris has taken a key role in the White House around establishing safety measures for artificial intelligence, which is widely viewed as the most consequential new technology in decades.
In an interview with CNN, Hoffman added: “In Silicon Valley, actually there’s many threads that are very excited about her.
