Jan Appling Secretary | DeKalb County Republican Party
David Marcus, the former CEO of PayPal, has publicly announced his decision to switch political parties and support Donald Trump in the upcoming November election. This announcement positions Marcus among a growing number of technology executives who have expressed their backing for Trump during this election cycle.
Marcus shared his decision on X, formerly known as Twitter, where he explained his shift in political allegiance. "I am crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party and President Trump," he stated. He described his journey as an "eye-opening process of disenchantment, zero-basing lifelong beliefs, and rebuilding."
Reflecting on his transformation, Marcus wrote about breaking free from a mental framework that previously defined him. "My journey has been a gradual political 180 from where I stood in every previous election," he said.
In addition to announcing his party switch, Marcus commented on an assassination attempt on President Trump. He praised Trump's courage during the incident and suggested that reelecting him could be beneficial for the nation.
Marcus also addressed concerns about democracy under Trump's leadership. He argued that having unelected individuals with significant power poses a greater threat than reelecting Trump.
