Keep an eye out on these big-money donors with the 2024 election approaching
NY Post
Donald Trump’s relationship to the GOP donor class has always been fraught, but lately it’s getting less so thanks to Sleepy Joe Biden’s endless idiocy on a range of policy issues — from Israel, the border, to the economy and crime — and how all this combined seems to be handing the 2024 election to the four-times indicted orange man.
Yes, Biden is feeble and highly unpopular for doing a horrific job over the past four years, but he does bring some advantages to the November race, apart from Trump’s manifold legal woes.
Much of it involves money and possibly until now Trump’s difficulty in raising it from GOP megadonors.
Consider what I first reported last week: Billionaire Citadel investment chief Ken Griffin, who had backed Nikki Haley during the primaries, is likely sitting out the presidential election because he’s not a fan of Trump’s 2020 election denialism and divisiveness, people close to him tell me.
Griffin is said to be focusing his dough on Senate seats since the GOP has a decent chance of winning the upper chamber and some House races.
Another billionaire GOP donor, Steve Schwarzman of the Blackstone group private equity firm, hasn’t decided what he might do in the presidential race and that’s telling because he was once close to Trump and served on his business advisory council.
