Blake Masters loses again. Thiel really isn’t good at picking winners in this space.

Masters last ran (and lost) against Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) for his senate seat; this cycle he was angling for a House seat in Arizona.

The other notable Peter-Thiel-protege-turned-politician is, of course, JD Vance, the Republican nominee for vice president.
