A GOP mega-donor said that he would no longer support former President Trump after his announcement of a third presidential bid in 2024 on Tuesday night.
Stephen Schwarzman, the CEO and co-founder of the investment firm Blackstone, told Axios in a statement that the Republican Party should nominate someone else who will represent a new generation of leaders.
“America does better when its leaders are rooted in today and tomorrow, not today and yesterday,” he said.
“It is time for the Republican Party to turn to a new generation of leaders and I intend to support one of them in the presidential primaries,” he continued.
Schwarzman had been closely engaged with Trump on trade issues and had considerable influence in the Trump administration, Axios’s Jonathan Swan reported.

Blackstone? An affiliate of Blackrock?
Schwarzman/Blackrock is and has been an arm of the democrat party for years. Anyone that does not know this isn’t paying attention
Good! Megadonors think they run the country.
All the $$$ is going to align against MAGA. The best someone like me can hope for is the complete destruction of the Republican party. It’s time for a true populist movement and that isn’t coming from the Rs.
Hey Schwarzman A-hole....how about letting the PEOPLE nominate someone.....????
Stephen Schwarzman, the CEO and co-founder of the investment firm Blackstone - Can ESAD!
Every. Single. Time.
When the source is the Hill, you know that this megadonor dude was a Democrat for a long time before Trump.
“Megadonors think they run the country.”
They know they run the country.
They didn’t get to be super-rich by believing that “democracy” stuff.
Btw—I have street creds for this claim. My grandfather was in the construction business—carried suitcases of cash and delivered them to CT politicians for decades.
Nobody ever got caught.
The local media never figured it out—and still writes glowing pieces about the dead corrupt politicians.
For anyone wondering what this FReeper means when he wrote this, he's pointing out that the man in the article is Jewish. The comment is anti-Semitism at its finest. He's just too much of a f****** p**** to come out and say he hates Jews.
Just another malefactor of great wealth, as Teddy Roosevelt referred to these big donors that set unrealistic goals for the Republic.
“If they are so rich, why ain’t they smart?”
Accumulation of wealth and a true patriotic feel for the nation’s future are two unrelated skill sets.
“ Nobody ever got caught.”
Trump caught them. Everyone who knows or suspects anything and yet hates Trump is questionable
You need to take a few steps back and look at the big picture.
Most people in politics are crooks—both parties.
This has not been fixed.
This was not fixed under President Trump.
We have zero evidence he could fix it if given another chance.
Speeches are talk.
Orange jumpsuits for crooks are the walk.
Separate but still Deep State.
Article says Blackstone, not Blackrock.
Yeah, and the twenty-five years it takes to get that new party up and running, well… we can wait.
I’m sure the Democrats wouldn’t do anything inappropriate.
/s
Blackrock is Lawrence Fink; Blackstone is Stephen Schwartzman. Different guys and very different politically.
Sounds like someone out of the Bourne Series! Fine, he’s another political RINO, not worried about the American People.
WHO???
Who cares ,LOL
