Billionaire CEO and major donor to the Republican Party Ken Griffin is preparing to pour millions of dollars into his preferred GOP candidates in 2024 — and he is expected to exclude former President Donald Trump from the list.
Griffin has reportedly grown tired of the former president, urging the Republican Party that it’s time to “move on to the next generation” of leaders. For Griffin, that next generation should be led by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.“I don’t know what he’s going to do. It’s a huge personal decision,” he told Politico of DeSantis, noting he would back the governor should he launch a White House bid.
And while Griffin backed many of Trump’s fiscal policies while he was in office, the billionaire donor has indicated it’s time to move on from the former president. Griffin’s sentiments may be reflective of a larger trend among Republican voters, who are increasingly attributing their support to the party as a whole rather than to Trump himself.
