Billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel’s relationship with former President Donald Trump could be on the mend after Trump picked Thiel’s top choice to be his running mate. 

Trump and Thiel’s relationship soured in 2023 after Thiel refused to support Trump’s campaign for reelection. However, in an interview with the New York Times, Thiel, for the first time since Sen. J.D.Vance (R-OH) was tapped to be Trump’s running mate, expressed he was more “hopeful” for a second Trump term than he was before.
