Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will join tech executives Saturday to hold a fundraiser for Vice President Harris, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill.
The reception will be hosted by Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman and Aaron Levie, the CEO of enterprise cloud company Box, in San Francisco at 6:30 p.m. local time. Pelosi will headline the event, dubbed, “Little Tech for Harris,” the source said.
The event will not be the first for the former House leader. Pelosi held a reception alongside the Democratic nominee in San Francisco in August, which brought in more than $12 million for the vice president. Harris’s campaign announced earlier this month that it raised $361 million in August.
Since President Biden made the decision to withdraw from the race and endorse Harris, Democrats have brought in more than $615 million, according to the campaign. Her rival, former President Trump’s campaign said this week that it raked in $160 million in September.
Trump has been making inroads with conservative tech leaders in Silicon Valley. Earlier this summer, the former president raised $12 million at a fundraiser hosted at the home of the investor and “All-In Podcast” co-host David Sacks. He has also secured the backing of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who also owns social platform X.
Harris, too, has connections in the tech world and her campaign has courted some top executives in the space, as a growing number of executives who previously donated to Democrats have now shifted to the right.
The fundraiser was first reported by The New York Times.
The Hill has reached out to Harris’s campaign and Pelosi’s office for comment.
