Mark Gallogly, the co-founder of investment firm Centerbridge Partners has signaled to friends that he's likely going to help Beto O'Rourke
A leading Democratic bundler who helped former President Barack Obama raise money during his two presidential campaigns has been indicating to friends that he's likely to support Beto O'Rourke in the 2020 race, CNBC has learned.
Gallogly also donated to the re-election campaigns of Democratic Sens. Cory Cooker of New Jersey and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who are also running for a shot to take on President Donald Trump in 2020. During his shockingly close loss to Cruz, O'Rourke raised tens of millions of dollars, with almost 45 percent coming from so-called small donors, or people who gave $200 or less. However, 53 percent of the contributions came from donors who wrote larger checks, including some donations from executives at prominent technology companies.
