The key is to look at what they do, not what they say. Follow the money.
Traditional Big Tech and electronics/software sector contributions have consistently favored Democrats by wide margins. OpenSecrets data for recent cycles shows Microsoft directing roughly $8.6 million to Democrats versus $1.3 million to Republicans, Apple and NVIDIA giving the large majority of their funds to Democrats, and the broader Communications/Electronics sector sending about 79% of its candidate and party contributions to Democrats. Individual and PAC money from Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and related executives has flowed to Democratic members in Northern Virginia (the densest data-center market), while Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s campaign received multi-million-dollar gifts from tech and AI-linked donors. In the Texas Senate race, Democrat James Talarico reported more than $11 million from industry-tied donors (including Nvidia-related figures), far exceeding the roughly $400,000 received by his Republican opponent. Employee donations from firms such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta have also skewed heavily or exclusively Democratic in multiple recent reporting periods, and aggregate congressional stock-holdings data show Democrats maintaining heavier overall technology-sector allocations than Republicans.
