Ahead of Gov. Ron DeSantis' anticipated announcement this week, a GOP mega-donor is throwing his support toward the Florida Republican instead of former President Donald Trump.
Point Bridge Capital founder Hal Lambert explained in a FOX Business exclusive interview why he believes it's "time [for the Republican Party] to move on" to younger leadership.
"There's a number of reasons," Lambert said on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" on Tuesday. "One, Donald Trump can only serve one term. He'll effectively be a lame duck almost on day one, if he were to win. But I don't think he can win the general [election]. That's the No. 2 reason. I don't think he can win the general."
"It's time to move on to the next generation. And Gov. DeSantis has a vision forward versus hashing out things from the past."

After going public with his candidate decision Monday, Lambert explained his rationale for supporting DeSantis.
"I like Donald Trump's policies. I like what he did. I'm basing it on bringing the country back together," Lambert said. "[Trump] is so divisive right now. If he were the nominee, this would be another situation where we're going to have the country, our own country, battling internally against each other in a way that's not health. y... I don't think it's healthy for the country to have to go through this in 2024 unnecessarily."
"We have a candidate in Ron DeSantis that can win, that has a record, that's conservative, that's the next generation. Why go through this unnecessary kind of hatred of each other in the country?"

Hey Rino-world,
Stop trying to make Desantis happen, it’s not going to happen.
With all due respect, Hal, GFY.
These guys seem so desperate.
And, some are urging DeSantis not to run but instead allow Trump a chance for his four years that was stolen from him. DeSantis can then run in 2028. Let Trump decide on his own. Let DeSantis decide on his own.
The deep state will be the ones deciding the general election results anyway.
For such a smart guy to make so much money, he sure is stupid. Does he honestly believe the communists WILL NOT ratchet up the hatred to 11 regardless of which Republican gets nominated?
I have my doubts whether DeSantis is ready for the big leagues based upon his campaigning so far.
I don’t watch Fox, especially cavuto.
DeSantis has been governing a ONE PARTY Republican state much of which Trump was responsible for turning to a ONE PARTY state!! The Hispanic community in FL. LOVE Trump!! DC is a different animal DeSantis has ALL THE WRONG friends FULL STOP!!
Well, maybe more money than votes.
The next generation...LOL!
Democrat lite?
No sale.
More than Trump and his bad hiring choices, hookers, and foul mouth?
Fund Managers and Lobbyists are cut from the same cloth. Trust none of them!
There are no such niceties in D.C.
There’s no indication that DeSantis has developed the thick skin needed to tough it out at the national level. He sure hasn’t been fighting the Florida legislature.
The RINOS are trying everything. DeSantis announcing in Twitter with Elon? Wonder if the CCP is giving money indirectly to his campaign?
I have never been a Trump supporter, or basher either.
My observation is that Trump believes Revenge is a dish best served cold, and if he wins he will do exactly that.
If I am right it will be entertaining and This is why I may vote Trump.
“It’s time for the next generation.” Talk about a lame talking point. We’ve had generation after generation of pathetic,
Each new generation has been just as corrupt as the one before. Voting for the next generation of corrupt-o-crats over the only true reformer in the race is a vote to keep things exactly as they’ve always been. Same sh*t, different face. No thanks.
Loser.
“It’s time to move on to the next generation”
That is total BS in my mind. What we need is someone to clean up the corruption in Washington DC and that includes the FBI. So far only one person fits that mold the best.
