Peter Thiel says he worries it will be hard for JD Vance or Marco Rubio to win in 2028
Billionaire Peter Thiel says he's more interested in what Democrats decide to do in 2028.
Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, expressed concern that it will be difficult for JD Vance or Marco Rubio to win the 2028 presidential election. Thiel, who considers himself a Vance partisan, admitted he worries about the election outcome, saying that he doubts either candidate will be able to secure victory. Vance, a former Mithril Capital partner and recipient of Thiel's $15 million donation during his 2022 Ohio Senate primary, has gained widespread support from Thiel, a libertarian investor.
Thiel's pessimistic outlook stems from his belief that Democrats have a roughly 50% chance of nominating a democratic socialist in 2028, which he considers to be a significant threat to American democracy.
