[Trump running mate Vance calls on billionaire Peter Thiel to support Trump's campaign] Golden Finance reported that US vice presidential candidate and Trump running mate Vance called on billionaire Peter Thiel to support Trump's campaign. Peter Thiel is the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir. Although he donated to the Republican campaign team in 2016 and sponsored Vance's campaign for the US Senate in 2022, he has been reluctant to support any candidate in this year's election. Last year, disappointed with Trump's presidency, Peter Thiel said he did not plan to "provide any funds to Republican politicians in 2024," adding: "It is always possible that I will change my mind."
