GOP Megadonor: I’m Ready To Back DeSantis In 2024

Politico reports:

Hedge fund CEO and philanthropist Ken Griffin smiled when asked if he wants to be the No. 1 political donor in 2024. He has given nearly $60 million to federal Republican candidates and campaigns this election cycle.

During an interview in his temporary offices in downtown Miami, detailing how he directs his political contributions, Griffin told POLITICO that he’s prepared to back the Florida governor if he runs for the White House. Griffin was the leading donor to DeSantis’ reelection campaign this cycle, dropping $5 million.

“I don’t know what he’s going to do. It’s a huge personal decision,” he said of DeSantis. “He has a tremendous record as governor of Florida, and our country would be well-served by him as president.”

Griffin last appeared on JMG in a story about implosion of the “anti-woke” bank he financed with homocon Peter Thiel.

Before that, he appeared here when he paid a then-record $238 million for a Manhattan penthouse.
