Former Democrat donor Jacob Helberg announced his support for former President Trump in the upcoming election, citing President Biden’s shift towards “radical progressive” policies as the reason for his change in allegiance.
Helberg highlighted his disillusionment with the Democratic Party’s direction under Biden’s leadership, emphasizing the party’s alignment with the Squad and woke ideology.
“Deep blue turning red as the tide turns. Trump in Silicon Valley, members of California’s starkly liberal technology community turning out to support the from the prison the massive fundraiser last week in the Trump campaign, raking in $12 million at the event,” Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo said.
“You were once a prominent Democrat donor and gave to Biden in his last presidential campaign, but you were there this week supporting President Trump. What happened?” she asked.
“Part of what we have seen over the last four years I came from a one-party state and like a lot of people in California and in Silicon Valley, I saw the Democratic Party get hijacked by the Squad and woke theology,” Helberg said. “President Biden campaigned as a moderate and ultimately has governed as a radical progressive. He has spent all of his time catering to his base, and ultimately, he is now completely out of step with where the rest of the country is.”
This shift in support towards Trump comes as the former president closes in on Biden’s fundraising lead, with increased donations from both small-dollar contributors and prominent billionaires like Miriam Adelson and Bill Ackman.
