As part of the challenge, Zuckerberg reportedly wanted to meet longtime Democrats who voted for Trump in the last election and asked his team to reach out and find such people. “I’ve spent significant time in many states already, so I’ll need to travel to about 30 states this year to complete this challenge,”  the tech CEO wrote on his personal Facebook page on January 3. “After a tumultuous last year, my hope for this challenge is to get out and talk to more people about how they’re living, working, and thinking about the future,”  he added.
