Ex-Obama Major Donor Switches to Trump, Criticizes Biden for Lack of Leadership
A significant supporter and fundraiser for former President Barack Obama, Allison Huynh, has publicly shifted her support to former President Donald Trump. Huynh, a 48-year-old Vietnamese immigrant and co-founder of an AI and robotics company bought by Google, was instrumental in raising substantial funds for Obama’s 2008 campaign. She cited disillusionment with President Joe Biden, branding his presidency as disastrous for the U.S., which influenced her switch in political allegiance.
A major fundraiser for former President Barack Obama says that she is now supporting former President Donald Trump because President Joe Biden has been an unmitigated disaster for the United States.
Allison Huynh, a 48-year-old Vietnamese immigrant who co-created an AI and robotics company that was bought by Google, reportedly raised millions of dollars for Obama’s 2008 campaign, the New York Post reported.
“My role was to bring in Silicon Valley people for the $50,000- and $100,000-per-plate dinners,” she told the publication. “[We] brought in [Google co-founders] Sergey [Brin], Larry [Page] and Eric [Schmidt]. Obama was a hopeful candidate who was outside of the system.”
Huynh has abandoned the political Left and the Democrat Party and now identifies as an Independent who is backing Trump.
“Biden has been asleep at the wheel,” said said in a separate interview this week. “He’s allowed Big Tech as well as the looters to take over Silicon Valley. San Francisco has been the science experiment that’s gone awry. I wake up in the morning, there’s no grocery stores to go to, there’s no malls to take my teenage girls shopping to. The streets are not safe, there are more fentanyl users and dealers than high school students in our once great city.”
“When [Obama] came into power, he was very scared,” she continued. “In his biography, he talked about being afraid of doing things because he didn’t want to ruin it for future Black leaders and Black presidents, and therefore, he let the government bureaucracy and red tape take over him whereas Trump was very specific with coming out with great ideas to allow people to grow great wealth.”
“Biden is changing that,” she added, noting that his policies were crushing the economy.
