LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman is considering leaving the United States after Republican nominee Donald Trump defeated his Democrat rival Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election, reports say.

In a matter of weeks, LinkedIn cofounder and Democratic Party super-donor Reid Hoffman has gone from pouring at least $10 million into Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign to contemplating a U.S. exodus.

Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder and Democratic donor, is contemplating relocating abroad after Donald Trump’s election victory. Concerns about potential retribution from the new president have prompted discussions among major donors regarding moves overseas and strategies for damage-control.

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman is said to be thinking of leaving the U.S. after Donald Trump won the 2024 elections. His reason is political retaliation, which he fears, especially since he supported Kamala Harris and funded a lawsuit against Trump.

The court found Trump guilty of sexually abusing Carroll in 1996 and defaming her. She was given $5 million in damages. Later this year, another jury awarded Carroll an additional $83.3 million for defamation after Trump denied her rape allegations.

Hoffman has reportedly told friends that he is thinking of relocating overseas due to fears that Trump would seek retribution against his enemies.

Hoffman had helped finance a defamation lawsuit filed by former New York magazine writer E. Jean Carroll against Trump which got her $83.3 million in damages

Reid Hoffman who is estimated to have a net worth of $2.5 to $3 billion in 2024, was a Democratic Party donor and a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris during her campaign and had donated at least $10 million to her presidential campaign.
