Thiel believes that DeSantis needs to shift his focus from &#8220;woke&#8221; issues to economic ones.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis&#8217; Focus on &#8220;Woke&#8221; Issues<\/h3>\n<p>As governor, DeSantis has been vocal about his opposition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/student-suspended-from-education-program-for-saying-a-man-is-a-man-a-woman-is-a-woman\/\" title=\"Student Suspended From Education Program For Saying, \u2018A Man Is A Man, A Woman Is A Woman\u2019\">left-wing ideology<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">critical race theory<\/a>.

Recently, Florida&#8217;s legislature passed a bill banning teachers from using transgender pronouns and funding diversity programs in colleges.<\/p>\n<p>While Thiel agrees that these issues are important, he believes that they can be a distraction from the economic issues that are affecting the younger generation in the US. Thiel stressed that economic issues should be the focus, as the younger generation is likely to have a hard time achieving the same standard of living as their parents.<\/p>\n<h3>Thiel&#8217;s Endorsement of DeSantis<\/h3>\n<p>Despite his concerns, Thiel believes that DeSantis would make a terrific president if he&#8217;s the Republican nominee. Thiel also believes that it&#8217;s necessary to defeat the &#8220;woke mind virus,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-senators-threaten-to-sink-bipartisan-infrastructure-plan-after-bidens-ultimatum\/\" title=\"Republican Senators Threaten To Sink Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan After Biden\u2019s Ultimatum\">echoing statements made<\/a> by Twitter CEO Elon Musk, another co-founder of PayPal.<\/p>\n<p>Thiel&#8217;s endorsement comes as at least two other billionaire donors have soured on DeSantis. Billionaire Thomas Peterffy recently announced that he was ceasing donations to the governor due to his perceived opinion on abortion and other issues.<\/p>\n<p>While Thiel&#8217;s endorsement is significant, it remains to be seen whether DeSantis will shift his focus to economic issues in the coming years.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Takeaways:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Tech billionaire Peter Thiel has endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for the 2024 presidential race.<\/li>\n<li>Thiel believes that DeSantis needs to shift his focus from &#8220;woke&#8221; issues to economic ones.<\/li>\n<li>DeSantis has been vocal about his opposition to left-wing ideology and critical race theory.<\/li>\n<li>Thiel believes that economic issues should be the focus, as the younger generation is likely to have a hard time achieving the same standard of living as their parents.<\/li>\n<li>Thiel&#8217;s endorsement comes as at least two other billionaire donors have soured on DeSantis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tech billionaire Peter Thiel said he would support Florida Gov.
