Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia revealed why he left the Democratic Party and voted for President Donald Trump in an interview published Monday — citing border security concerns.
"This is a real problem and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be enforcing the laws of our country and our border. And so, I think, as I started to pull on that thread, I sort of began to look at other topics and eventually came to the point where I don’t think I can support a political party that wants to have an open border, that lets in criminals and dangerous people into our country. That’s not something I can get behind," Gebbia told podcast host Katie Miller during "The Katie Miller Podcast."
Gebbia previously worked for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and was tapped by Trump last month to spearhead a new federal design overhaul aimed at making government websites "both usable and beautiful."
