A top GOP donor who previously backed Donald Trump has announced that he will be supporting Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Election.
Hal Lambert, founder and CEO of Texas-based Point Bridge Capital, said he wants to "do a lot to help DeSantis win" amid strong speculation the Florida governor will confirm his presidential campaign in the coming days.
Lambert, who set up an exchange-traded fund named after the former president's Make America Great Again 2016 campaign slogan, MAGA ETF, and previously served on Trump's inaugural committee in 2016, told the New York Post that he decided to back DeSantis after meeting with him and wife in Florida three weeks ago.
Lambert said he was also put off by Trump's recent CNN town hall, where the former president continued to falsely claim the 2020 Election was "rigged."
"What voters who didn't vote for Trump in 2020 are going to vote for him this time based on his performance? I don't think anyone will," Lambert told The Post. "We can't talk about things from four years ago that can't be changed.
"Trump is going to have a difficult time winning the general election. The election won't be about Joe Biden's bad record. It will be a referendum on Trump instead."
It is reported that DeSantis will file paperwork declaring his presidential candidacy on May 25 to coincide with a donor meeting in Miami, before a formal announcement a few days later.

Going to a Trump rally requires planning and a real time commitment Afterwards the experience is an impactful lifelong memory.
Define "RINO Republican".
Or, better yet, tell us of the 49 Republican Senators, how many are NOT "RINOs".
You see, your problem is that you define "real Republican" as something in your imagination. THIS is what the REAL Republicans are REALLY about:
1) Open borders
2) A global open market in labor
3) Offshoring productive industries
4) Financialization of the economy
5)) Severing the medium of exchange function of money from the store of value function.
6) Usury as the main engine of consumption.
7) Denying the people their natural, healthy love of their nation
8) Overseas wars on behalf of alien peoples without recompense for our sacrifice.
9) Forced "diversity" with its attendent decline in standards and inevitably accompanying violence.
If you don't support those things, it's YOU that is a "RINO".
You do know that most people do not remember Trump's record. We know his record because we liked what he did and we liked Trump.
The average person does not remember or was too young (new voters) and they need to be reminded.
Trump on CNN did fantastic when he talked about his record and what he would do to lower fuel prices, etc. He derailed when he whined about 2020 by falling for CNN's questions.
Trump just needs to say, our elections need reform and I am not here to rehash 2020, but to fix what happened after 2020 so we can get back to the great economy I created.
It is easy. But Trump cannot control himself.
OK? So a murder or rape that happened over four years ago can't be changed either. The victim is still dead or raped? BUT the perp can certainly still be punished! Justice can still prevail! It is wrong that cheaters and liars not pay for their misdeeds!
It is amazing how stupid a successful person can otherwise be....
You got big fake tits, you festerman lovin' tranny, calling anyone an ass.
Just go over to DU and cover yourself with Trump hate speech and they will love you.
Simpletons like you are the reason we have festerman as a walking dead senator.
ESAD
And you don’t? /s
He can kiss that money goodbye. Trump wouldn’t want him anyway if he believes the big lie.
No, we have brain-dead Senator John Fetterman in Pennsylvania is because Donald J Trump sabotaged the real conservative in the primary and inserted a leftist pro-child mutilation, anti-gun carpetbagger as our nominee.
But you will never find fault with your God, Donald Trump.
I’ve been to five, during the election season of watched most of his campaign speeches in RSBN. Even so, I’m not supporting him longer.
Learn Civics?
You should learn Leadership.
I assume you have lived in this country, and understand that the President is in office as a leader as well as a chief executive. Maybe you don’t and it needs to be explained to you.
This emphasis isn’t going to come from the House, the Senate, or even the Judiciary, because too many of them don’t want to rock the boat and choke off the gravy train.
The point is, this crucial rotting problem at the core of our Republic isn’t China, it isn’t Russia/Ukraine, and it isn’t even our budget (though that is likely to become the pressing issue before the next election cycle in 2024) is Election Fraud that needs to be fixed, not “what people want to hear”.
About half the population wants to hear about free government money. Some other portion wants to hear about unlimited abortion. Yet another portion wants to have fully open borders.
If we are to survive as a country, we need to talk about (and address) things they DON’T want to hear about.
—> Get it through your thick skull that talking about 2020 will not win Trump any votes from those he lost in 2020.
Best ZOT nominee of May 2023!
🏆
Source is Newsweek? Seriously? I doubt almost everything at this point, especially from sources such as newsweek, NYT, wp, etc.
Has anyone ever given a reason why the counting was stopped at 11pm on Election Night 2020 all across America? Something that had never happened before, and after that, it all went Biden's way.
Did you watch Kari Lake's court sessions where they showed video of election workers merely hitting NEXT on their computer screen and not scrolling down to check whether or not a signature on a mail-in actually matched the signature on file? This was done for hundreds of thousands of mail-ins.
It's perfectly fine to cry RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA for all of Trump's term and have investigation after investigation, but try to look into cheating against MAGA, and you're a conspiracy theorist.
The Democrats did steal the 2020 election, did steal Arizona at the very least in 2022, and pretending they won’t try and steal 2024 is a foolish. Are you a fool?
This is the problem I have with FReepers, like you. I don't know any FReeper who doesn't think there was election fraud. Nobody is denying it. We are just saying that Trump needs to stop talking about it and being baited by it at every turn.
Trump only hurts his chances of winning by doing this.
But it is easier to just claim that anyone who thinks we need to focus on the real issues that are hurting people are just deniers.
You are just like the environmentalist morons who call anyone not on board as "deniers".
Wow, you really do have a Zot-wish.
Glad to help you.
“Ask yourself what the MSM and the Democrats will focus on, Trump’s legal problems or the disaster Biden created.”
Do you really think you are asking some kind of perceptive question?
Every moment Trump spends on 2020 makes his 2024 chances dim. There is no question about that.
There is a reason that is the first question CNN asked Trump.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Trump will never fight. When he can’t deal, he loses.”
Of all the stupid, incredibly stupid remarks about Trump I have heard, that takes the cake. Even the democrats don’t accuse him of running from a fight.
Trump has been in one gigantic fight since the day he came down the escalator.
