The tech industry is GOP-coded

from Decoded by POLITICO Hosted by POLITICO

Plus, AI researchers and other industry employees emerged as a powerful political bloc this year. Tech’s traditional megadonors are still the ones bankrolling the broader fight for control of Congress in the lead-up to the November midterms.For more news and analysis, subscribe to the Decoded newsletter: politico.com/decoded
