Palantir chief Alex Karp is open to supporting Democrats in 2028, he told Politico, marking the latest technology executive and billionaire to signal support for the party after a “blue wave” in this year’s midterm elections.
Key Facts
Karp said Democrats have “absolutely” corrected enough to gain back his support in 2028.
Karp used the word “progressive” eight times while describing his philosophy to Politico, telling the outlet he has been a Democrat his entire life and that he knows “more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet, and I absolutely believe Palantir—all of our products are essentially progressive.
The Palantir CEO has blasted Democrats in recent years, criticizing their immigration policies and blasting progressive “wokeness” as his company has excelled under the Trump administration through expanding federal contracts and a stock that has more than doubled since President Donald Trump’s second term began.
Karp called the Republican party’s midterm losses a “referendum” on “economic justice,” adding he is open to backing a Democrat in 2028 as long as they are not a member of the Democratic Socialists of America—a group that has backed or claimed Democratic leaders like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Los Angeles Mayor-Elect Nithya Raman.
FORBES VALUATION
We estimate Karp’s net worth at $18.5 billion, placing him at No. 151 on Forbes’ real-time billionaires list.
TANGENT
Karp, whose company has directly supported Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportations through an AI surveillance platform, acknowledged the Trump administration’s mishandling of immigration enforcement to Politico. Trump recently said in an interview with “60 Minutes” his administration’s deportation crackdown may have been “too tough,” admitting it contributed to Republicans’ midterm performance. Karp said he was “really happy” to hear Trump say “in public now what I’ve been saying in private.”

Seems to be something of an oxymoron.
Fair weather pos. What he does in his name is his business. All businesses/corporations however should be barred from all political contributions.
The congressional Republicans are some of the most stupid, short sighted incompetent ass hats in American history
Trump gave these POS the key to the kingdom to unlock the decades of Republican control of Congress need to make America great again and they burned it down for their own personal vanity and anti Trump vendettas
All of them will be lined up with knee pads for 2028.
Communism and private industry are incompatible. It would be a shame if something happened to your little company.
“..he is open to backing a Democrat in 2028 as long as they are not a member of the Democratic Socialists of America..”
This will be fun to watch (should have said this in my first post).
“Trump recently said in an interview with “60 Minutes” his administration’s deportation crackdown may have been “too tough,””
Dogs get to bite once so why shouldn’t Third World thugs get to rape once? /s
Seriously, the thugs need to go. The people hanging around the thugs probably should go too.
Federal law needs to change so people that do something which may be (or could have been in the 21st century) punished by a term of imprisonment by any state get removed regardless of conviction or charging.
Aliens subject to removal for criminal activity should get sent back to their native land regardless of their possible fate there.
Other aliens to be removed should be able to request a 30-day incarceration hold while they or their helpers seek to find an alternative country that is not English-speaking or European.
But my portfolio and my dinner parties...
“All businesses/corporations however should be barred from all political contributions.”
Campaigning should not be subject to special laws.
Political speech should be the freest of all.
Gee, which way does the wind blow today?
Sounds like an example of someone with no core values.
The life of alien residents who did not arrive with a residency visa from the USA should be crimped to make it desirable to go home ASAP:
1. no citizenship possible
2. only one basic cellphone without useable internet capability
3. outbound calling limited to 60 minutes a month
4. inbound calling limited to 200 minutes a month
5. no cable, fiber-optic or satellite service to your residence
6. no license of any kind
7. no driving a motorized vehicle on a public road (except driving across it in a farm equipment vehicle)
8. no ability to fly to a destination in the USA
9. a general return home fund tax rate increasing year by year of residence (10%, 12%, 14%,...) in the USA
on your earnings not paid into your personal return home fund
10. return home fund to be distributed:
a. for purchase of a non-refundable one-way ticket out of the USA specifically for yourself, or a dependent,
b. on personal collection back home,
c. amounts of twice the typical monthly apartment rent in your homeland in a three-day period between the 15th and 28th of the month to be collectable in each month there is regular international airline service to your homeland after the initial two, or on your request,
d. unclaimed amounts to be forfeited
11. no interest to be paid on your personal return home fund.
If they can’t live better in the USA than in their homeland, they’re not likely to stick around.
Corporations are not an individual entity that can vote. Only eligible voters should be allowed to donate.
“Trump gave these POS the key to the kingdom to unlock the decades of Republican control of Congress need to make America great again and they burned it down”
Yes, those keys of raising the prices on everything with awful tariff policies and high gas prices due to starting a stupid middle east conflict. They just need to embrace that more to make America great again!
Yes, they did. And they still have 2 months to make it worse.
You beat me to it!
Oxymoron as in, "I will drink the water that contains cyanide as long as it is not enough to kill me.".
Of Course he is.
All of the anti-Christ’s helpers are Democrats at heart.
