With Trump VP pick JD Vance, Silicon Valley conservatives land a ‘tech bro’ on the ticket

Donald Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance for a running mate raised the hopes of Silicon Valley conservatives on Tuesday that they stand to gain having a fellow “tech bro” within reach of the White House for the first time.

“WE HAVE A FORMER TECH VC IN THE WHITE HOUSE. GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH BABY,” Delian Asparouhov, a partner at billionaire investor Peter Thiel’s venture capital firm Founders Fund, wrote on social media site X.
