HOUSTON, May 23 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump raised tens of millions of dollars during a fundraising swing through Texas this week, promising he would support the oil and gas industry by backing new pipelines and restoring fracking on federal land.

A Houston fundraiser on Wednesday was hosted by oil billionaires Jeff Hildebrand, founder of Hilcorp Energy, the largest closely held U.S. oil firm; George Bishop, founder of GeoSouthern Energy; Harold Hamm, founder of Continental Resources; and Kelcy Warren, head of pipeline firm Energy Transfer Partners.
Trump drew standing ovations when he promised to get more natural gas pipelines built if elected and to restore fracking to areas barred under Biden, said Mark Carr, a Houston entrepreneur who was in attendance. Many oil and gas pipelines were delayed or abandoned under both Trump and Biden's administrations due to community opposition, legal challenges and lengthy permitting processes.
"He's going to get energy going again in the United States," said Carr, who founded the Houston-area Christian Brothers Automotive chain.

Stephen A. Schwarzman, the formidable billionaire CEO of Blackstone, has declared his unflinching support and substantial financial backing for Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election.
This monumental endorsement reinvigorates Trump’s campaign with not only a flush of funds but also a powerful endorsement from one of the most influential figures in the financial world.
Speaking to Axios, Schwarzman expressed his intention to channel funds not only towards Trump’s campaign but also to a slew of Republican Senate candidates, aiming to fortify GOP positions across the board.
This move is poised to unlock a significant network of Republican donors that Schwarzman has meticulously nurtured over the years, potentially repositioning Trump in the favorable light among skeptical business magnates.
“The dramatic rise of antisemitism has led me to focus on the consequences of upcoming elections with greater urgency,” Schwarzman told Axios.
“I share the concern of most Americans that our economic, immigration and foreign policies are taking the country in the wrong direction. For these reasons, I am planning to vote for change and support Donald Trump for President. In addition, I will be supporting Republican Senate candidates and other Republicans up and down the ticket, he added.
NEW: @blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman tells @Axios tells Axios he’ll support Donald Trump as a “vote for change”
• Will donate to Trump, Senate GOP candidates • Rising antisemitism sped his decision • He earlier wanted a next-gen leader in ’24 https://t.co/JkSzjRmmMr

Lib retards: “OH NO’S! Trump is in bed with big oil!!!”
I really hope so.
I always thought Blackstone and Blackrock were related companies.
Me too.
Mmmmmmm......dont think so.
Nice twist of language there.
only in the sense that blackrock owns at least a part of pretty much everything.
It looks like you are correct. They were once related but in 1995 Blackstone sold its stake in Blackrock to PNC bank.
DRILL, BABY DRILL ! ! ! !
America and the world needs clean American Energy! If you are Green, then you want American clean energy!!!!
NOT dirty Venezuelan energy. NOT Iran’s terror energy. NOT Russian energy.
Clean American energy is the WTG!
Drill baby! Drill!
How many fainting couch articles have come from Reuters over diaper brain raking in millions at his fundraisers after promising to kill oil and gas, oh, and more babies?
I guess 2012 really is a long time ago, and no one remembers Promised Land, the hysterical ranting about hydraulic fracking? I can’t imagine this even resonates with swing voters.
Socialists have got themselves all twisted up that big banking dares to fund oil and gas expansions. There have a been a few hysterical articles I have read - I guess its based on the assumption that oil companies are evil.
I guess that makes me evil investing in Suncor.
They say it like it’s a bad thing...
“Trump rakes in millions at Texas fundraisers, promising pipelines and fracking a return to normalcy and policies that are intended to benefit America.”
EXACTLY> Good point
Democrats and their media are trying to hype this into a new scandal.
