How to show the hidden contents under "View More" when using Selenium - Python - python-3.x

Question

driver = webdriver.Chrome(r'XXXX\chromedriver.exe')
FB_bloomberg_URL = 'https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/FB:US'
driver.get(FB_bloomberg_URL)
board_members = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//* [#id="root"]/div/div/section[3]/div[10]/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]')[0]
board=board_members.text
board.split('\n')
I wrote the coding above to scrape the board information from Bloomberg for FaceBook. But I have trouble to extract all board members because others are hidden behind the "View More". How can I extract all names?
Thanks for the help.

You can do whole thing with requests and grab the appropriate cookie to pass to API from prior GET. The API can be found in the network tab when clicking the view more link and inspecting the web traffic.
import requests
headers = {
'dnt': '1',
'accept-encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
'accept-language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9',
'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 Safari/537.36',
'accept': '*/*',
'referer': 'https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/FB:US',
'authority': 'www.bloomberg.com',
'cookie':''
}
with requests.Session() as s:
r = s.get('https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/FB:US')
headers['cookie'] = s.cookies.get_dict()['_pxhd']
r = s.get('https://www.bloomberg.com/markets2/api/peopleForCompany/11092218', headers = headers).json()
board_members = [item['name'] for item in r['boardMembers']]
print(board_members)
