Billionaire and Democratic donor Tom Steyer says he will not be backing any 2020 Democrats who do not allign themselves with impeaching President Donald Trump.
Billionaire and Democratic donor Tom Steyer will not be supporting Democrats who don't agree with him that President Trump should be impeached, CNBC has learned.
When asked if any of the declared 2020 candidates match his determination to have the president impeached, Steyer said"not really." He noted, however, that former Texas congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Beto O'Rourke has been the rare lawmaker who appears to be on the verge of entering the presidential election and also supports the removal of the president.
"I fear that if he loses the election in 2020, that there will never be a peaceful transition of power. And this is why I agreed to appear before you today," Cohen said of Trump at the time. The three term representative fell to Cruz in the 2018 midterms by just under two percentage points but galvanized a quiet Democratic voter base in the deep red state of Texas. He broke record fundraising and youth voter turnout. Since his loss, he's been openly contemplating a 2020 run for president.
