Ken Griffin, who is pushing for a Desantis presidential bid, has a history of fundraising for Biden and Obama.
Florida Governor Ron Desantis’ top donor has made some controversial comments concerning his relationship with China.
Ken Griffin, the billionaire CEO of Citadel, who funded $5 million towards Ron Desantis’ gubernatorial campaign and is vying for a Desantis 2024 presidential run, admitted his hedge fund is prioritizing China as its “center of focus.”
Griffin, who has countersignaled a Trump 2024 run, wants to “increase the size of our commitment” in China and supported CCP leader Xi Jinping for his economic leadership, saying it helped “re-accelerated China’s growth.”
Griffin described Trump as a “three-time loser” and hopes the 45th president of the United States will “see the writing on the wall” and give up his 2024 bid.
“I’d like to think that the Republican party is ready to move on from somebody who has been for this party a three-time loser,” Griffin stated, citing Trump’s 2020 loss and blaming Trump for the GOP leadership losing two Georgia Senate seats.
Despite the lack of a “red wave” in the Midterms, Griffin described the midterm results as “a great moment — American voters came out in droves. This was a triumph of democracy.”
“I’m quite happy about the midterms,” the billionaire added.

Oh hell, the first sentence alone should be an awakening....
“Ken Griffin, who is pushing for a Desantis presidential bid, has a history of fundraising for Biden and Obama.”
Wow
Deep stater.
All the leftists are trying to bring down DeSantis.
Those of us who are right minded won’t fall for their tricks.
“All the leftists are trying to bring down DeSantis.”
By giving him $5 million?
Griifin is a bipartisan mega donor seeking bipartisan backing for his form of global trade - period. Maybe he is hoping he is buying that with Desantis. It will be up to Desantis to show his political independence from donors like Griffin.
Economic leadership?!
Throw this twit into prison for treason.
DeSantis has had $200 million in donations for an easy win governor’s race and has almost half left. He could have easily turned down this scumbag globalist’s money. Could have also turned down the Club for (china) Growth money.

Guess Sundance (CTH) had it right all along.
RD needs to sit 2024 out. His time is coming.
The sooner he says it the better for all of us.
DeSantis has been in on their scam from the very beginning. He is no different than Cruz or Justin Amash, libertarian globalists who want to carve up America for their billionaire paymasters.

Like Reagan said...donors sign on to his agenda...not the other way around.
Having said that. It sounds like this guy knows Trump won’t help his China desires and is trying to drive a wedge more than anything. He really wants Beijing Biden to win again.
““Ken Griffin, who is pushing for a Desantis presidential bid, has a history of fundraising for Biden and Obama.””
You are so anti-DeSantis you ignore the facts.
Over $100 to republicans since 2000. How much to Biden and Obama.
And then why were Biden and Pocahontas so intent on destroying him.
Don’t like who is in bed with DeSantis. He won handily against a detestable candidate who was a party switcher. Pushing him into the 2024 race for POTUS is so obvious. I used to really like Ron D. but to me he is looking like a typical GOPe candidate like Jeb.
I am nothing.
Check my post history before spewing lies and vomit, idiot!
I have long stated I would take both as POTUS any day.
Call Mitch. We’ve got more MAGA for him to ship back to China. Don’t we all want to see Trump and his China team bitch slap the truth out of the CCP?
You mean all the Leftists trying to bring down Trump by giving money to DeSantis.
yep, extremely concerning that this establishment-bankroller is pushing for Desantis.
