Trump's vice president pick, J.D. Vance, spent time in San Francisco, founding a Silicon Valley technology investing firm.
The new Republican vice presidential nominee hangs his proverbial hat on hailing from Middletown, Ohio — a steel mill town in the heart of working-class America. But for a few years, J.D. Vance joined the world of coastal elites, building a robust venture capitalist career and hobnobbing with some of the wealthiest tech leaders in the Bay Area.
'And if the new mode of acquiring information is fundamentally biased, I think it's a far bigger threat to democracy than almost anything that's called a threat to democracy in 2024.' While it's impossible to detail the impact Vance's San Francisco days made on his political worldview, they certainly affected his wallet. One of Vance's strongest Bay Area supporters was also one of his first bosses: Thiel of PayPal and Facebook fame, as well as a Republican megadonor.
