  "account": "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.",
