Dmitri Mehlhorn says he will join the Lincoln Project to continue his work to prevent Donald Trump’s election in November
Reid Hoffman speaks onstage during The AI Optimist Club at WIRED Celebrates 30th Anniversary With LiveWIRED at The Midway SF on December 05, 2023 in San Francisco. LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, one of the Biden campaign’s biggest donors, is separating from his chief political strategist, Dmitri Mehlhorn, after both men apologized publicly for comments before and after the assassination attempt of President Trump, the two announced Friday in a note.
The announcement was made after a 3 p.m. call with top Democratic donors, including Hoffman’s network, and featured an appearance by Vice President Harris. Investing in US, a donor network co-founded by Hoffman and Mehlhorn, will continue its work with Hoffman under the direction of other members of its leadership team, the statements said.
“Our venture approach requires us to work with a political ecosystem that often is alienated by my strategic assessments. As our portfolio has evolved and integrated into the anti-Trump ecosystem, my views have become more of a distraction. Over the past month, the tension has become too great to sustain,” Mehlhorn wrote. “With this I hope to be clear that I speak for myself and Reid speaks for Reid, and we will both be explicit if we agree.
“Last night, I sent an email I now regret. I drafted and sent it without consulting my team,” he said of that email in a statement. “I have apologized to them directly. I also want to apologize publicly, without reservation, for allowing my words to distract from last night’s central fact: political violence took yet another innocent American life.
