Democrat mega donor and former President of PayPal David Marcus has announced he’s backing Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

In a post on X, Marcus wrote, “I am crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party and President Trump.”

Marcus added, “Many — including a former version of myself — get trapped in a mental framework that becomes their identity and prevents them from radically evolving their thinking with new facts and information. I finally broke free from it.”

My journey has been a gradual political 180 from where I stood in every previous election. It has been an eye-opening process of disenchantment, zero-basing lifelong beliefs, and rebuilding from there,” Marcus continued.

Per Charlie Kirk:

David Marcus, the longtime president of PayPal and a prominent mega-donor for left-wing candidates, has endorsed former President Donald Trump in a surprising turn of events.

Marcus announced on the social media platform X that he would not support Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential bid, instead backing the GOP nominee, in a move has shocked both Democrats and Republicans across the country.

Marcus said in his lengthy post that he was “crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party and President Trump.” He continued: “Many — including a former version of myself — get trapped in a mental framework that becomes their identity and prevents them from radically evolving their thinking with new facts and information. I finally broke free from it. My journey has been a gradual political 180 from where I stood in every previous election. It has been an eye-opening process of disenchantment, zero-basing lifelong beliefs, and rebuilding from there.”

He continued: “In 2017, a good friend enlisted me to pitch the DNC to raise $100M from Silicon Valley founders and executives. The aim was to use these funds and know-how to build a CRM and tech platform to prevent a repeat of Hillary Clinton’s inadequate, outdated 2016 campaign. We met with DNC leadership, who told us we could raise that money, but it would have to go to the general fund; a single-digit percentage would then be allocated to tech. In the wake of one of their most shocking failures, they didn’t want the help.”

Per Just The News:

Lightspark CEO and co-founder David Marcus this week became the latest in a string of tech executives to back former President Donald Trump.

“I am crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party and President Trump,” he announced on X. “My journey has been a gradual political 180 from where I stood in every previous election. It has been an eye-opening process of disenchantment, zero-basing lifelong beliefs, and rebuilding from there.”

Marcus then recounted his experience of gradually becoming disillusioned with the Democratic Party.

“I was shocked to learn that, for the most part, Republicans cared more deeply about their constituents, while Democrats, in my experience, cared more about government power and control,” he added, recalling a 2019 incident in which he testified before Congress.
