Former president of PayPal announces party switch, endorses Trump: ‘crossing the Rubicon’
Former president of PayPal David Marcus announced he has switched political parties and endorsed Donald Trump via X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
The tech entrepreneur, who recently headed up Messenger at Meta, announced he was “crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party” as well as the campaign of former President Donald Trump.

Neither will likely change in a Harris administration and could potentially worsen.
