Karan Bhatia, Google's global head of government affairs, expressed pride in supporting the upcoming event.
Other notable contributors include Meta, Amazon, and automotive manufacturers like Ford, General Motors, and Toyota, with each pledging $1 million to the inaugural committee. Chevron, an oil company, has also donated but withheld the exact amount, reiterating its tradition of backing both Democratic and Republican inauguration efforts.
