Had it not been for billionaire Peter Thiel, J.D.
Vance might never have been selected as Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate.
And, the person who arguably made all of this possible is none other than Thiel.
Vance and the controversial billionaire have known each other for years.
The tech billionaire, Vance later pointed out, made him see the world completely differently.
Has Vance and Thiel’s relationship soured a bit?
Peter Thiel went out of his way to secure J.D.
This could be because the billionaire decided to hold onto his 2009 statement about democracy.
“I’m going to keep on talking to Peter and persuading him,” the bestselling author proclaimed.
“I think that he needs to get off the sidelines and support the ticket.”
Thiel, however, refused to budge.
“It was crazier than I thought.
It was more dangerous than I thought.
They couldn’t get the most basic pieces of the government to work.
So that was I think that part was maybe worse than even my low expectations,” he said.
